Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to review (1) the provision of UK aid to, or (2) other forms of co-operation with, Rwanda in light of its alleged support for the M23 rebel group in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The UK condemns the occupation of Goma and other territories in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) by M23 and Rwandan Defence Forces as an unacceptable breach of DRC's sovereignty and the United Nations Charter which poses a fundamental risk to regional stability. We have been clear with Rwanda that this would provoke a strong response from the international community and called for the immediate withdrawal of all Rwandan Defence Forces from Congolese territory. We are considering all options with partners.
