Kinshasa: A total of five people were killed in the offensive that eliminated a Rwandan Hutu rebel leader in DR Congo who was wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes, the Congolese army said Thursday. Sylvestre Mudacumura, commander of the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR), was killed in DRC’s North Kivu province on Tuesday night as was his “secretary general”, the military said. “The final assessment: five killed, including Mudacumura and his secretary general, four captured and four weapons recovered,” Colonel Sylvain Ekenge, a deputy military spokesman, said. “The body of the secretary general and the captured are coming to Goma very soon,” he added.
