Rwanda's military intervention in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has prompted UK foreign secretary David Lammy to warn of potential risks to over $1 billion in global aid provided to Rwanda. This shift marks a departure from previous supportive UK policies towards President Kagame, who has faced scrutiny following the recent resurgence of armed conflict supported by Rwanda. The UK government emphasizes the importance of territorial integrity, and further aid decisions now depend on Rwanda’s response to international calls for de-escalation in the region.
Rwanda's ongoing military involvement in the DRC risks jeopardizing over $1bn in global aid, prompting warnings from UK foreign secretary David Lammy to President Kagame.
