The UK government has decided to cease further payments to Rwanda after canceling a migrant deal that was previously agreed upon. Rwanda's spokesperson accused the UK of attempting to forgo a remaining payment of around £50 million based on trust, and subsequently requested that the UK fulfill its financial obligations. This comes following the UK’s suspension of bilateral aid to Rwanda, linked to accusations of Rwanda's support for the M23 rebel group in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which has led to rising tensions over national security and regional stability.
The UK government has stated that it will not send further payments to Rwanda after the cancellation of their migrant deal, which included a disputed sum.
Rwanda has demanded the full payment for the migrant deal, claiming the UK breached trust by halting aid amidst allegations of supporting a rebel group.
