Rebel leader Nkunda will return to Congo: Rwanda - Yahoo! News: "KIGALI (AFP) – Congolese rebel leader Laurent Nkunda, currently under house arrest in Rwanda, will eventually be sent back to his country, Rwandan Foreign Minister Rosemary Museminali said Saturday.
'General Nkunda is Congolese and will eventually have to return to his country Congo,' she told AFP.
Museminali said the date and the conditions of Nkunda's return to the Democratic Republic of Congo were being discussed 'by a team comprising representatives from both parties.'
Congolese President Joseph Kabila announced a week earlier that the process to extradite the leader of the National Congress for the Defence of the People was under way.
Nkunda was captured last month, two days into an unprecedented joint Rwandan-Congolese military operation in the eastern DRC officially targeted at Rwandan Hutu rebels.
On Friday, Museminali and her Congolese counterpart Tambwe Mwamba concluded a four-day meeting in northern Rwanda to assess progress made in the operation."
