Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda
Democratic Republic of the Congo scores 15/100 toward Rwanda (aggressive rhetoric, bans), while Rwanda scores 18/100 back.
Democratic Republic of the Congo toward Rwanda
The DRC is actively seeking international support to combat Rwandan-backed rebels, and its government is accused by Rwanda of supporting armed groups on Rwandan soil, indicating severe diplomatic and security hostility. This aligns with aggressive rhetoric and severed diplomatic trust rather than routine contact.
Rwanda toward Democratic Republic of the Congo
Rwanda explicitly accuses the DRC of supporting insurgent groups and dismisses international sanctions against it as ignoring root causes, while maintaining military involvement in the region. This reflects an aggressive posture involving armed hostility and unmitigated diplomatic pressure.
