Rwanda grants South African troops safe passage out of Congo

Rwanda says it will grant Southern African Development Community (SADC) forces in the Democratic Republic of Congo a safe passage to pull out of the war zone, potentially earning a publicity credit in the chaos. Rwanda's Minister for Foreign Affairs Olivier Nduhungirehe told The EastAfrican that SADC had formally sought permission to use Rwandan territory to exit, a month after the bloc’s summit had authorised the withdrawal of the troops. The announcement is a turnaround in relations between Rwanda and SADC in general, and South Africa in particular, because Kigali had been critical of the mission deployed in eastern DRC, ostensibly to rout the M23 rebels.
