Germany stops new aid to Rwanda over Congo conflict
Members of the M23 rebel group stand guard, amid conflict between them and the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo, in Goma, on January 29, 2025.
Germany said on Tuesday it had halted new development aid to Rwanda and was reviewing its existing commitments in response to the African nation’s role in the conflict in neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo.
The German development ministry said Berlin had informed Rwanda in advance of the move and urged it to withdraw support for the M23 rebel group, which has made advances in eastern Congo.
