The United States has imposed sanctions on Rwanda’s Ministry of Defence and Zigama Credit and Savings Society, accusing them of helping sustain the M23 rebellion in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
The US Department of the Treasury announced the measures on October 28, 2026, citing the alleged provision of military assistance, financial services and logistical support to the rebel group and its political wing, the Congo River Alliance.
