Rwanda's foreign minister says the country's government will withdraw its counterinsurgency troops from Mozambique if the mission’s foreign backers don't maintain sustainable funding. Foreign Affairs Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe said in an X post on Saturday that Rwandan troops were “being constantly questioned, vilified, criticized, blamed or sanctioned by the very countries that benefit from our intervention in Mozambique.” The U.S. State Department imposed visa restrictions last week on “several senior Rwandan officials for fueling instability” in eastern Congo. It intensified pressure on the East African country after sanctions that targeted Rwanda’s military.
