China appointed its first military attachee to Rwanda as USA ceases miltary support to Rwanda defence forces.

 

China  appoined its very first military attaché to Rwanda.The Chinese Embassy in Rwanda announced the appointment of Captain Li Dayi as China's first military attaché to Rwanda, according to diplomatic reports on Wednesday. Recent years have seen an accelerated development of military ties between the two nations, with the Chinese government funding the Rwanda Defense Forces Marine Regiment to improve its capabilities. China says it attaches great importance to developing ties with the Rwandan army. Both armies participate in peacekeeping operations in Sudan. Chinese funding also helped build 70% of Rwanda's roads, a premier economic zone and industrial center built by China Star Construction, as well as a $27 million administrative complex housing the Prime Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Rwanda dates back to November 12, 1971.

USA STOPS MILTARY SUPPORT TO RWANDA.

 In a significant foreign policy reversal, the United States announced the immediate cessation of its military assistance to Rwanda. State Department spokesperson Lacy Tamlyn confirmed the decision at a press conference today in Washington, D.C. "This is a decision made after careful consideration and in consideration of recent developments in the region,” Tamlyn said. “The United States no longer supports the Rwandan army and no longer provides it with weapons or equipment.” The move marks a significant shift in the relationship between the United States and Rwanda, who have traditionally been allies in the Great Lakes region of Africa. U.S. military assistance to Rwanda has often been seen as a pillar of U.S. foreign policy in the region, but recent developments have forced U.S. officials to reconsider that relationship. Although Tamlyn did not elaborate on the exact reasons behind this decision, it is widely believed that concerns over human rights and civil liberties in Rwanda played a crucial role in this policy revision. Reports of human rights violations and political repression have caused growing concern in the international community. “The United States remains committed to promoting human rights and democracy around the world,” Tamlyn stressed. “We will continue to monitor the situation in Rwanda and work with our international partners to ensure respect for the fundamental rights of all citizens.” The United States' decision to end its military assistance to Rwanda will undoubtedly have significant repercussions on the geopolitical dynamics of the Great Lakes region of Africa. It remains to be seen how the Rwandan government will react to this announcement and what the long-term implications will be for relations between the two countries. Meanwhile, this decision marks a turning point in American foreign policy and highlights the importance the United States places on human rights and democracy in its international relations.
