Rwanda has severed its diplomatic relations with Belgium effective immediately, citing Brussels’ “pitiful attempts to sustain its neo colonial delusions.

Announcing this in a statement, Rwanda foreign ministry said its decision was taken after careful consideration of several factors, and gave Belgian diplomats 48 hours to leave the East African country. 

Reacting, Belgium Deputy Prime Minister, Maxime Prevot, described Kigali’s move as “disproportionate” and said it will take similar measures.

He vowed that Brussels will reciprocate by declaring Rwandan diplomats persona non grata.
