EU Freezes Some Aid to Rwanda
Surprisingly, it looks like some of the money is going to arming rebels, not humanitarian aid.

The move follows decisions by the United States, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden to suspend donor support over allegations that the Rwandan military is supporting a murderous rebellion in the neighbouring Democratic Republic of the Congo.
