Congolese Revolutionary Movement

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Congolese Revolutionary Movement (MRC) is a rebel group in Ituri Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo.[1]

Laurent Nkunda, leader of the National Congress for the People's Defense, allied with the MRC in July 2006. Mathieu Ngojolo, the interim president of the MRC and a previous member of the Nationalist and Integrationist Front (FNI), agreed to join the Congolese army as a General, on July 27, 2006. The government pardoned all previous crimes he may have committed.[1]

The MRC, the FNI, and the Front for Patriotic Resistance of Ituri (FRPI) agreed to disarm on August 22, 2007.[2]
