Rwandan President Paul Kagame accused Belgium on Sunday of advocating for international sanctions against his country over the conflict in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
Addressing a rally in the capital Kigali, Kagame said the country’s former colonial power has had a longstanding pattern of undermining Rwanda.
“Now, what you see happening every day, the accusations they throw at us, in Kinyarwanda we call it ‘gukoronga,’ constant insults and attacks. They talk about the war in Congo, first making it Rwanda’s war, and then claiming that Rwanda supports it,” he said.
“Belgians go to Kinshasa and point a finger towards Rwanda and say they will impose sanctions on us and also mobilize the world against Rwanda. They are shameless. Mobilizing the world against Rwanda, with our small size? They should leave us alone.”
