BRITAIN says it will withhold STG21 million ($A32 million) in
aid to Rwanda following concerns over its support of rebels in the
Democratic Republic of Congo.
The announcement by International Development Secretary Justine
Greening follows the widely criticised decision by her predecessor,
Andrew Mitchell, to restore a tranche of aid in September following its
suspension in July.
Britain meanwhile said it would give a further
STG18 million to provide 100,000 people in DR Congo with food, water,
household items and emergency education, as the advance of M23 rebels
sparks fears of a humanitarian catastrophe.
