华盛顿，10月28日——据美国财政部网站消息，美国周三对卢旺达国防部实施制裁，这是与刚果民主共和国相关的新一轮制裁。
US imposes sanctions on Rwanda's ministry of defense WASHINGTON, Oct 28 - The United States on Wednesday imposed sanctions on Rwanda's ministry of defense in fresh Democratic Republic of Congo-related sanctions, according to the Treasury Department website.
AFC/M23叛军在2025年初推进后控制了刚果北基伍省和南基伍省的大片地区，其间攻占了刚果东部两座最大的城市。联合国和西方政府表示，该组织得到卢旺达的支持，但基加利对此予以否认。
AFC/M23 rebels control large parts of North and South Kivu provinces in Congo following their early 2025 advance, during which they captured eastern Congo's two largest cities. The UN and Western governments say the group is backed by Rwanda, which Kigali denies.
制裁实施之际，尽管包括美国主导的调解努力仍在进行，战斗仍在继续。迄今为止，这些努力在当地几乎没有带来任何改变。卢旺达和刚果政府发言人未立即回应置评请求。
The sanctions come as fighting continues despite ongoing mediation efforts, including those led by the United States. So far those efforts have brought little change on the ground. Spokespeople for the Rwandan and Congolese governments did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
