Rwanda Announces Its Withdrawal From Economic Community of Central African States

To justify the decision, the country accused the DRC of exploiting the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS).

The decision follows Kinshasa’s move to block Rwanda from assuming the ECCAS presidency, which was set to pass from Equatorial Guinea.

The withdrawal was declared after the 26th ECCAS Summit in Malabo. It also comes as the bloc has repeatedly criticized Rwanda for backing the M23 rebel group—a claim Kigali denies.
