Germany ЁЯЗйЁЯЗк has announced the cancellation of a scheduled meeting with Rwandan ЁЯЗ╖ЁЯЗ╝ officials next month, citing RwandaтАЩs involvement in the ongoing conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
The clashes, driven by a rapid offensive from the M23 armed group and reportedly supported by Rwandan forces, have intensified around Goma, leading to a deepening humanitarian crisis.
A spokesperson for GermanyтАЩs development ministry stated on Tuesday, тАЬThe government consultations planned for February with Rwanda have been cancelled.тАЭ The ministry emphasized that discussions on development cooperation would only resume if Rwanda and the M23 end their offensive and withdraw.
The German foreign ministry reinforced this stance on X (formerly Twitter), describing the offensive as a тАЬflagrant violation of international lawтАЭ and a significant obstacle to peace efforts in the region.
Germany, currently chairing the International Contact Group for the Great Lakes which includes the EU, France, the UK, and the United States has been vocal in its condemnation of the situation.
