Description
Rwanda has pulled out of Central Africa's main economic bloc, accusing the organisation of siding with the Democratic Republic of Congo amid ongoing fighting in eastern DRC. The move came after leaders of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) extended Equatorial Guinea's presidency of the organisation for another year on Saturday June 7 at a summit in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, bypassing Rwanda, which had been next in line for the rotating post.
