GOMA, Congo – A rebel offensive to expel some of the perpetrators of Rwanda's 1994 genocide forced more than 3,000 civilians to flee eastern Congo to neighboring Uganda in a single day, the insurgents and U.N. officials said early Thursday.
In New York, the U.N.'s top Congo envoy told the Security Council that peacekeepers have opened several investigations into whether war crimes are being committed in eastern Congo, pointing to evidence of targeted killings. And U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, in a report to the Security Council, recommended U.N. peacekeepers should remain in Congo through 2009.
Rebel spokesman Bertrand Bisimwa said the insurgents began an offensive Saturday in Ishasha border town to push some 1,500 Hutu militiamen, many believed to be Rwandan exiles, out of Congo. Ishasha, on Congo's border with Uganda, is about 35 miles (50 kilometers) northeast of the de facto rebel capital, Rutshuru.
