The DR Congo government is of the view that the presence of the fighters in the northern Congolese province of Kivu has become a cause of concerns for local officials.
The authorities in the East African country are demanding that the South Sudanese fighters be flown out of the area by 10th October.
This comes just as the government accused France of inciting dissent against President JOSEPH KABILA over the upcoming presidential election.
Meanwhile; President KABILA has said that the elections due in November would be delayed to give the country more time to prepare for the polls.
Speaking to journalists in Tanzania’s commercial capital Dar es Salaam, KABILA said the delay was to avoid locking out a huge number of people from exercising their constitutional rights to vote, especially young voters.
Before now; the electoral commission in that country said it would need at least until the middle of next year to complete voter registration to cover more than thirty million people.
