Through her twitter handle, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and East African Community Affairs, Louise Mushikiwabo expressed sympathy with Egypt over the atrocities.
“On behalf of the Government and people of Rwanda deepest sympathy and brotherly solidarity to the Government and people of Egypt! We strongly condemn the al-Rawala Mosque attack in Northern Sinai that caused the senseless death of 235 innocent people and injured many more!” the tweet reads.
According to BBC, after the attack, Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi vowed to respond with “brute force after talks with security officials”.
No group has yet claimed the attack, but militants affiliated with so-called Islamic State (IS) have been responsible for scores of deadly attacks in the province.
