(CNN) -- The United Nations will release its final report Friday detailing human rights violations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo -- a month after a leaked draft accused Rwandan troops of committing the atrocities.
Rwandan forces and an allied rebel group massacred ethnic Hutus in the country, according to the leaked draft report commissioned by the United Nations.
The draft report, titled "Mapping Exercise," was leaked in late August and documents crimes against humanity throughout the Congo between 1993 and 2003.
It said "tens of thousands" of Hutu civilians were slaughtered with knives, bludgeoned with hammers and burned alive as the Rwandan army and the Allied Democratic Liberation Forces swept across Congo -- then called Zaire -- leading to the toppling of dictator Mobutu Sese Seko.
More than one million Rwandans fled to neighboring Congo when the Rwandan genocide ended in 1994 -- most of them Hutu. In 1996, Rwanda invaded Congo in pursuit of the genocide orchestrators, who were living amid hundreds of thousands of other refugees.
