18 09 13 AP: Congo soldier released after 2 days in Rwanda

Sgt.
Major Munanga Kafakana embraced the vice governor of Congo's North
Kivu province on Tuesday in front of reporters following his release.

Congolese
army spokesman Col. Olivier Hamuli said that Kafakana was detained
Sunday while trying to visit family in the eastern Congo city of
Goma.

Rwandan
officials, though, said Kafakana had crossed into Rwandan territory,
but Congolese authorities insisted he had not.

Congo's
army has engaged in several rounds of heavy fighting in the border
region this year with the M23
rebel group, which observers accuse Rwanda of backing despite
consistent denials from Rwanda's government.
