The United States has imposed sanctions on Rwanda's defense ministry, according to a report from ABC News. The measures were imposed on Wednesday over the country's involvement in mineral-rich eastern Congo.
ABC News reported that fighting continues in eastern Congo between the Congolese government and Rwandan-backed rebels. According to the same report, the fighting has continued despite peace efforts. The summary available for this story ends mid-sentence while describing those efforts, so it does not say who led them.
The available summary does not describe the specific conduct that led to the sanctions, the legal authority used to impose them, or how long they will remain in effect. It also does not include any statement from the Rwandan government, the Congolese government, or the rebel groups involved in the fighting.
The ABC News report is the only source used for this story. The report's listing gives no author, and no other outlet's account was available to compare against it.
