As the fighting in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo escalates, international pressure has been piling on Rwanda to withdraw its forces from Goma.
The latest is from the United Kingdom, which has threatened to withhold aid from the East African nation, which is accused of backing the M23 rebels that now control much of Goma city, the largest in eastern DRC.
In a statement released UK Foreign Office, Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, warned that the crisis risks putting $1bn in aid to Rwanda 'under threat' over DRC invasion. Lammy made the direct warning to President Kagame in a phone conversation who had been urged by U.S.
Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, in a similar tough dialogue. "All of that is under threat when you attack your neighbours, and we are clear that we cannot have countries challenging the territorial integrity of other countries.
