Mr Tshisekedi also said the M23 has not been respecting a peace accord, which required required the rebels to immediately withdrawal from areas they had captured.
“M23 is still there, they act like they are moving but they are not, they’re simply moving around and redeploying elsewhere, and they stay in the towns that they have captured,” he said.
Speaking at a WEF session on Tuesday, Mrs Akamanzi told Mr Tshisekedi that “if security is indeed a big problem for you, and clearly if you were able to solve it as DRC government or DRC army, you would have done it by now”.
“I believe the solution is in your hands to own the problem but [also] to work with those who can solve it… because security is paramount for investment,” Mrs Akamanzi added.
In a harsh retort to remarks made by a Rwandan cabinet minister, Claire Akamanzi, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, the president of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Felix Tshisekedi, has accused Rwanda of being the cause of instability in the area.
He apologized, “Madam, the security problem we face in the Great Lakes area is called Rwanda.
Mr. Tshisekedi continued, saying “Rwanda is supporting the M23 rebels” to sow unrest in eastern DR Congo. Rwanda has refuted this assertion.
He claimed that the rebels murdered over 100 villagers in Kishishe in order to “frighten away” the locals from the village because it contains “rich minerals under the ground.”

The M23, according to Mr. Tshisekedi, has not been abiding by a peace agreement that obliged the rebels to promptly withdraw from territories they had taken control of.
M23 is still present, he said, “they act like they are moving but they are not, they are just moving around and redeploying elsewhere, and they stay in the places that they have captured.”
Mrs. Akamanzi stated to Mr. Tshisekedi during a WEF session on Tuesday that “if security is genuinely a serious concern for you, and obviously if you were able to fix it as DRC government or DRC army, you would have done it by now.”
