The German Development Ministry has announced (Saturday) suspension of its planned aid budget to Rwanda citing allegations that Rwanda supports eastern Congo’s latest rebellion.
Germany’s development ministry said Saturday that it suspended US$26 Million in contributions to Rwanda’s budget planned from this year through 2015.
Britain and the Netherlands already have suspended support and the U.S. cut planned military aid.
German Development Minister Dirk Niebel said he expects “unreserved cooperation” by Rwanda with the U.N. experts.
He added ,”The accusations must be cleared up completely, and it must be clear that Rwanda does not support any illegal militias in eastern Congo.”
