US sanctions Rwandan gold refinery for minerals smuggling
The US has sanctioned Rwanda's Gasabo Gold Refinery and two executives for allegedly smuggling minerals from rebel-controlled areas of the Democratic Republic of Congo, with claims of collaborating with the M23 rebel group. Despite Rwanda's denial of support for M23, the sanctions cite evidence of smuggling and involvement of government officials. The move aims to address illicit mineral trade and regional instability, building on a recent peace agreement between Rwanda and DR Congo.
