Rwanda has severed diplomatic ties with Belgium, expelling Belgian diplomats and accusing the European nation of undermining its position in the ongoing conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Belgium has been a vocal critic of Rwanda’s alleged support for the M23 rebel group, which has been involved in violent clashes in eastern DRC. The European Union has also imposed sanctions on Rwandan officials linked to the conflict. In response, Rwanda has accused Belgium of neocolonial interference and regional destabilization. The diplomatic fallout marks a significant escalation in tensions between Rwanda and Western nations over the crisis in the DRC.
