Rwanda's government has expressed unwavering support for Gen. James Kabarebe, a top official recently sanctioned by the U.S. over the escalating violence in eastern Congo. The conflict, fueled by Rwanda-backed rebels, has seen the capture of two major cities, posing a significant threat to the Congolese government.
In response to the sanctions imposed on Gen. Kabarebe, Rwanda's government denounced them as unjustified and unfounded. The government emphasized that border security with Congo is a matter of national security and reiterated its commitment to safeguarding its borders.
