2. Rwanda has decided to invade Eastern Congo

They have entered the country to get attack/disarm a hutu rebel group however seem to be heading towards a tutsi rebel area so I’m not really sure what the deal is there. This is a slight concern as when the agreement was signed to go ahead with this plans a few weeks ago there were two grenade attacks in Kigali, so I’m not sure what the reaction will be like.
