Congolese rebel leader General Laurent Nkunda has called on Congo nationals to stand up against government, saying fighting would liberate the country.
General Nkunda says he wants to expand his theatre of operations for his Congolese national defense forces from eastern DR Congo to the whole country
He also claims they are under threat from some of those who carried out the genocide in neighboring Rwanda 14 years ago.
Renewed fighting broke out last August in eastern DR Congo, with government troops and Nkunda's rebels violating ceasefire reached under Goma peace accord in January.
