however, we've already started initial discussions with other facilities around kigali and further afieldanda is a safe country to send people to. on friday, at least nine people were killed after a camp in the democratic republic of congo was bombed. now, the american state department has blamed your rwandan army and a rebel group known as m23. was your country involved ? not at all. i mean, look at what the people themselves in the camps have been saying. they know that the congolese army, the drc army, has had heavy artillery near the idp camps. the ngos that work there have been complaining, requesting, including the un, has been asking the drc government to move this heavy artillery away from these idp camps. they didn't, and this is this is what happened. yet the state department has pointed the finger at the rwandan army and that group, m23, you've been accused many times of backing. why is the us state department wrong? well, they've been very hasty to blame us without looking, without investigating this incident, and without talking to the people who are affected. it's something
