Rwanda Withdraws from ECCAS over Blocked Leadership Transfer

Israa Farhan Rwanda has officially withdrawn from the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) after the regional bloc refused to grant it the rotating presidency, in breach of its charter. The decision was announced in a statement published by *The New Times* and marks a significant diplomatic shift in Central African regional politics. According to the Rwandan government, the refusal to transfer leadership as scheduled violates the foundational agreements of ECCAS. Kigali declared that it no longer sees value in remaining part of a body that operates contrary to its governing principles. The dispute escalated after ECCAS members voted to extend Equatorial Guinea's presidency for an additional year, despite the standard rotation that would have seen Rwanda assume leadership. The move was reportedly supported by Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), with the DRC accusing Rwanda of backing rebel groups in its eastern provinces. In response, Rwanda has also submitted a formal complaint to the African Union, condemning what it described as illegal actions by ECCAS. Established in 1983 and based in Libreville, Gabon, ECCAS comprises Angola, Burundi, Cameroon, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and São Tomé and Príncipe. Rwanda's withdrawal marks a rare departure from a major African regional bloc and underscores deepening tensions in Central Africa. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan
