DRCONGORWANDA-TANZANIA-UNREST-DIPLOMACY-FILES
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY AUDE GENET
(FILES) A file photo taken on August 1, 2013 shows Congolese national police driving through Goma in the east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. A war of words between Rwanda and Tanzania is enflaming tensions in Africa's resource-rich Great Lakes region, adding a new, potentially dangerous dimension to one of the continent's longest-running conflicts. On the one side is Tanzania, exasperated by a flood of refugees fleeing fighting in the Democratic Republic of Congo's eastern Kivu region. Tanzania has joined a new United Nations brigade fighting alongside the Congolese army against the myriad of rebel forces that are keeping the region in perpetual anarchy. The new force is being heralded as an attempt to bring an end to the Kivu conflict once and for all. But this has put it on a collision course with Rwanda, seen as a key backer of one of the main rebel groups and unwilling to negotiate with other militia it says are made up of Hutu extremists involved in the Rwandan genocide nearly 20 years ago.
