Top military commanders reshuffled

    NAIROBI
    President Yoweri Museveni has reshuffled his top military commanders and posted another senior officer to the DRC, the 'New Vision' reported on Monday, citing military sources. Lieutenant Colonel Edson Muzoora was sent to Kisangani to assist Brigadier James Kazini, the overall Ugandan army commander in DRC. "Muzoora has been instrumental in curbing terrorism and high-level crime in the central region," the newspaper reported. "There have been big loopholes in the chain of command in DRC," a top officer was quoted as saying. "That is the problem his excellency is trying to solve."
