Sources in Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) tell AfroAmerica Network that troops from the National Congress for the Defense of the People (CNDP) recently integrated within Congolese Government Armed Forces (FARDC) have started to defect to form a new armed rebellion. According to the same sources, the Rwandan Department of Military Intelligence suspect General Kayumba Nyamwasa to be behind the desertions.
The CDNP was headed by the renegade Tutsi General Laurent Nkunda who is in jail in Rwanda. General Nkunda was funded and supported by the Rwanda Government in his bloody armed rebellion against the DRC government over half a decade. He fell out with Rwanda when he dared to criticize Rwandan President General Paul Kagame, accusing him of using Congolese Tutsis to achieve his goals of looting the DRC. He was arrested in January 2009 while a guest of the Rwandan Government. He has been in jail awaiting
trial since then.
