UK Suspends Aid to Rwanda
Government's role in conflict across the border in the Democratic Republic of Congo raising concerns
The UK has suspended aid to Rwanda, amid concerns about the country's role in the conflict in Democratic Republic of Congo.
Ministers said the UK would not now release a payment worth £21m.
An aid payment of £16m was paid to Rwanda in September despite question marks over its alleged support for the M23 militia in DR Congo.
The government also said it would give a further £18m for immediate humanitarian needs in the DR Congo.
