was responsible for propaganda in Europe, say FDLR members. The personal assistant to the senior field commanders in eastern Congo FDLR confirmed a few weeks ago the taz that Mbarushimana telephone calls almost daily from Paris in the jungle.

The militia seems weakened. The end of September was even the commander of the 1st FDLR battalion, Lieutenant Colonel Elie Mutarambirwa Safari alias Martin, his unit down and defected to Rwanda. Between January and August 1300 the militia men have left and returned from Congo's forests in their country of Rwanda. Experts estimate the number of remaining FDLR combatants to around 3,000.

But now the FDLR recruited Congolese increased, and in Walikale mining area, where the FDLR has its headquarters in seven years, it has alliances with local militias and corrupt military. Thanks to this alliance was the FDLR in July, its headquarters Kimua of Congo's army recapture. show gossip Infiltrierungsoperationen plane FDLR in Rwanda, it would be the first in nine years.

The FDLR leadership refused. Then is said the RUD wrong with some 400 fighters.

Munyaruguru was very active recently from Norway, said Omar, "It is conceivable that he will in future play a greater role in Europe."
