At least 5,000 Rwandan troops have been deployed in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, a UN official has said, as part of a joint operation by Rwanda and its neighbour to eradicate Hutu rebels. The operation aims to root out Rwandan Hutu rebels from the Democratic Force for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR). AFP PHOTO / LIONEL HEALING
