The United States has accused Rwanda of involvement in a deadly attack on a camp for displaced people in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, a claim dismissed as "absurd" by Kigali on Saturday."The United States strongly condemns the attack (Friday) from Rwanda Defense Forces and M23 positions on the Mugunga camp for internally displaced persons in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo," State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said in a statement.

A rebel group with alleged links to Rwanda this week seized Rubaya, a mining town in eastern Congo known for producing a key mineral used in smartphones, the group said Thursday in a statement. In a statement shared with The Associated Press, a spokesperson for the M23 rebel group said the town was “liberated.” The Congolese army declined to comment on the situation.

While the provincial government of North Kivu has not officially announced the casualties, it has accused the M23 rebels of being behind the attack.

M23 rebels have seized an African town crucial to the supply of minerals for smartphones.

The Democratic Republic of Congo asked the UN forces to leave last year despite ongoing fighting that has displaced millions of people.
