Army denounces Ugandan move to Gbadolite

    NAIROBI
    The Forces armees congolaises (FAC) on Wednesday expressed "indignation" over the fact that the Ugandan army had moved its headquarters from Kisangani to Gbadolite, DRC state television reported. "Such an attitude not only constitutes scorn for the Democratic Republic of Congo, but is also an insult to the international community which involved itself in the preparation and signing of the Lusaka ceasefire," the army said in a statement. Although the rebels and their allies had signed the Lusaka ceasefire agreement on 31 August, they "continue to reinforce their positions in the field with the intention of making new conquests", it added.
