A rebel commander wanted in Rwanda in connection with the 1994 genocide has been arrested in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Habyarimana Mucebo, a senior member of the Rwandan FDLR rebel group, was captured in Rutshuru, north-eastern DR Congo. Members of the FDLR fled into DR Congo after the genocide. The Rwandan genocide sparked years of unrest in the region. Rwanda sent troops and militias into DR Congo on several occasions since the genocide, saying they were going after the FDLR.
