Rwanda has suspended its development cooperation with Belgium, accusing its colonial master of “an aggressive campaign together with DRC” to sabotage access to its development finance.
According to a statement released by the Rwanda Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Tuesday said: “As the international community is being called upon to support the mediation process mandated by the African Union and the Joint EAC-SADC Summit to resolve the crisis in eastern DRC, Belgium has led an aggressive campaign, together with DRC, aiming to sabotage Rwanda's access to development finance, including in multilateral institutions.”
