Rwanda has been experiencing 'extreme insecurity' BBC Africa
The Rwandan spokesperson asserted that the country's troops were securing their borders in response to "repeated violations", including 15 deaths, from cross-border shelling.
"The DRC needs to do a better job of getting their territory in order. That is their responsibility," she said.
Ms Makolo added that Rwanda was placing "heavily defensive mechanisms, and offensive mechanisms" along the border to safeguard its investment.
She also said that Rwanda was concerned about the presence in DR Congo of militias responsible for the 1994 Rwandan genocide, and which wanted to return to Rwanda to "finish the job". She accused the Congolese authorities of working with these groups.
