The Democratic Republic of Congo’s army captured more than 291 Rwandan rebels and handed them over to authorities in the neighboring nation.

The fighters belong to MRCD Ubumwe, a political group seeking to oust Rwandan President Paul Kagame. Some of its leaders include former Rwandan Prime Minister Faustin Twagiramungu, who’s in exile.
