The Rwandan army plans to send thousands of troops across the border into the Democratic Republic of Congo to disarm Hutu rebels.
The Rwandan Hutu fighters fled to the DR Congo after the 1994 genocide during which they killed more than half a million Rwandan Tutsi and moderate Hutus.
Al Jazeera's Yvonne Ndege has this exclusive report.
