# The Rwandan government says the UK’s decision to suspend some of its financial aid is regrettable. The UK says it is against Rwanda’s support for the M23 rebels, who captured two cities in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. More than seven-thousand people have died and thousands have fled their homes since the conflict escalated in January. Rwanda’s Foreign ministry says the measures by the UK do nothing to contribute to achieving a sustainable political solution to the conflict in the DRC.
