US Treasury sanctions Rwanda's Ministry of Defence over M23 support

The Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned the Rwandan Ministry of Defence and Zigama Credit and Savings Society, which it said helped facilitate Rwanda's support for the March 23 Movement (M23). Secretary Scott Bessent said the action "makes good on President Trump’s promise to hold Rwanda accountable for its commitments under the Washington Accords for Peace and Prosperity" and that "Rwanda must halt its support for M23 and withdraw its troops from eastern DRC."
