What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The United States imposed sanctions on Rwanda’s Ministry of Defence and Zigama Credit and Savings Society, a financial institution serving Rwanda’s security forces. The US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control issued the sanctions. The US accused Rwanda of continuing to provide military, logistical, and financial support to the Refoundation of the Nation (FRN). This action follows allegations that Rwandan troops have supplied weapons and training to FRN/M23 fighters in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The sanctions target Rwandan entities linked to the conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. These actions were taken because the US Treasury stated that Rwanda’s continued support for the rebel group violated its commitments under the Washington Accords for Peace and Prosperity. The accords were signed between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to promote trade and investment in the Great Lakes region.
