Laurent nkunda sur youtube

Rebel General Laurent Nkunda has long sought to portray himself as the only man who can protect his Tutsi community in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo from Hutu forces.

The Congolese government issued an international arrest warrant against him for alleged war crimes in 2005.

It says it wants Gen Nkunda to be sent back home to face trial.

Human Rights Watch says his troops have been implicated in numerous killings, torture and rapes.

More than one million people have fled three-way clashes between Gen Nkunda's forces, ethnic Hutu Rwandan rebels and the Congolese army in recent years.
