In a dramatic escalation of tensions between two African nations, the Democratic Republic of Congo has taken Rwanda to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) over alleged support for rebel groups in the DRC. The move comes as a major blow to Rwanda's President Paul Kagame, who has long been accused of backing militant groups in the DRC. The lawsuit, filed by the DRC government, claims that Rwanda's actions have led to the deaths of thousands of civilians and destabilized the region. The ICJ case is set to be a major test of Rwanda's relations with the international community and could have far-reaching consequences for regional stability.
