Rwanda Diplomatic Relations with Belgium Collapse Amid DR Congo Tensions

Rwanda accuses Belgium of interference as it severs diplomatic ties over conflict support.


In a drastic move, Rwanda has announced the termination of its diplomatic relations with Belgium, attributing the decision to Belgium's perceived undermining of Rwandan interests during the escalating conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

Belgium has consistently voiced concerns about Rwanda's alleged backing of the M23 rebel group, which has been pivotal in the chaos of the DRC. In response to Rwanda's severance, Belgian diplomats have been given a 48-hour ultimatum to exit the country. Belgium, a former colonial ruler, has denounced Rwanda's actions as disproportionate and is preparing to issue its own response. This fallout raises significant questions about international relations and regional stability in East Africa amidst ongoing hostilities in the DRC. As global attention shifts towards this conflict, the implications of Rwanda's decision could reverberate through diplomatic communities and beyond.
