Rwanda, Uganda complete probe into Kisangani clashes

    NAIROBI
    Rwanda and Uganda have completed a report investigating last month's clashes in Kisangani between their two armies. The Ugandan daily 'New Vision' said the report would be made public "depending on its contents". Kisangani centre has been demilitarised and a committee of Ugandan and Rwandan army officers and military police are now in charge, the newspaper reported. They are also jointly in charge of both the Bangoka and Sim Sim airports. Sources in contact with Kisangani told IRIN the joint military commission - set up by the Lusaka accord - had decided that Rwandan soldiers in the Kisangani should move to Lubutu, some 250 km from Kisangani, while the Ugandans should relocate to Bafwasende, some 262 km away.
