The largest remaining illegal foreign-armed group operating in the Democratic Republic of Congo faces military action unless it demobilizes within three months, the U.S. ambassador to the country said.
The Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda, known by its French acronym FDLR, is required by the Central African nation’s government to meet a disarmament and repatriation deadline by Jan. 2, 2015. A previous deadline of June 9 was extended by President Joseph Kabila’s administration after only a few hundred fighters complied.
