In response to what has been referred to as Rwandan "aggression," which is defined as claims that Kigali is militarily supporting the March 23 Movement (M23) rebel movement in the eastern Nord-Kivu province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, President Félix Tshisekedi has ordered the army chief to set up recruitment centers all over the nation.
On Thursday, Mr. Tshisekedi made the comments in a speech to the nation.
Against threats from "certain neighboring nations," the young people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo "have been expressing their determination to maintain the territorial integrity," he claimed.
To assist the troops, he urged them to "organize themselves into vigilance groups."
The president also noted the failure of diplomatic efforts to defuse tensions with Rwanda.
He frequently asserted that Rwanda was supporting the M23 rebels, who have been fighting the Congolese army since May.
Rwanda has denied aiding the insurgents.
