Human Rights Watch has warned of a dangerous escalation of tensions in eastern DR Congo between ethnic Tutsi and Hutu communities as a result of fighting involving a militia that Rwanda is accused of supporting.
According to the report, the M23 armed group has carried out summary executions and forced civilian recruitment.
According to the rights group, the militia is leaving a growing trail of war crimes. It wants all military aid to Rwanda to be halted.
The Kigali government has denied supporting the M23 rebels.
Human Rights Watch also claims that the Congolese army has collaborated with various armed groups, including Hutu militias with a history of human rights violations.
