Rwanda has dismissed allegations that its army supported the M23 rebels in attacking the Democratic Republic of Congo; allegations contained in a report by the UN Group of Experts that is yet to be made public.

The claims in the unpublished report leaked to international media also accuse the Congolese army of providing support for armed groups in the eastern DRC.
