REUTERS/Charles Platiau Par  RFI L'ONU persiste et signe sur sa conviction que les obus tirés sur le Rwanda l'ont été par le M23 et non par l'armée congolaise.

Un Etat membre du Conseil de Sécurité est résolu à la Brigade d'intervention des Nations Unies. Ce, en lançant à partir de son territoire autant d'obus sur la ville de Goma après des pertes immenses en hommes e...
