The experts said there was "substantial evidence" that the Rwandan army directly intervened in Congo's fight against M23 rebels, and that it had supported the group with weapons, ammunition and uniforms. The report comes as the Democratic Republic of Congo has repeatedly accused Rwanda of backing the M23. According to the UN experts' report, the M23's resurgence caused local militias to "shift alliances," creating "new dynamics" with the Congolese military. The UN experts recommended that the DRC "take all measures" to prevent cooperation between the Congolese military and armed groups. The United States has repeatedly said that allegations of Rwandan support to the M23 rebels were credible.
