For years, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has accused Rwanda of direct involvement in the war in its eastern provinces. The DRC says its neighbour has mobilised forces and backed armed groups to carry out illegal operations in its territory. This week, Kinshasa has moved to hold Kigali accountable, filing a case with the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The DRC is seeking to force Rwanda to cease those activities and award reparations. Tensions are still high and some countries outside the region are trying to help end the conflict. Could the involvement of the ICJ make a difference ?
