DR Congo troops 'to repel Rwanda'
Some 10,000 troops are being sent to expel Rwandan forces from the Democratic Republic of Congo, President Joseph Kabila has said.
He accused Rwanda of invading to loot DR Congo's natural resources.
Rwanda has denied that its forces have entered DR Congo. The UN says there were indications, but "no proof", of Rwanda's presence.
Rwanda has twice invaded DR Congo in recent years - it says to attack Rwandan rebels based there.
