Rwanda has threatened to pull its troops from Mozambique after new United States sanctions. Kigali’s soldiers have helped fight Islamic State insurgents in Cabo Delgado since 2021. Officials say financial penalties could undermine the mission’s funding and logistics. The sanctions relate to alleged Rwandan backing of M23 rebels in the DRC. Any withdrawal would alarm investors in vast gas projects in northern Mozambique, according to the WSJ.
