“We have expelled six S. African diplomats in reciprocity & concern at SA harbouring of dissidents responsible for terrorist attacks in Rwanda,” Louise Mushikiwabo, Rwanda’s foreign minister, said in a comment on her Twitter account. The South African diplomats were “coming back home tonight”, according to a diplomatic source. South African foreign affairs officials refused to comment, saying a statement would be issued later. The row has strained ties between two African states involved in efforts to bring peace to eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where South Africa has troops in a UN brigade that fought last year against rebels who UN experts said received support from Rwanda.
