Kisangani clashes report "fair"

Rwanda's Director of Information Wilson Rutayisire termed the report on the recent clashes between the Rwandan and Ugandan armies in Kisangani as "fair" and "castigated some Ugandan officials who are denouncing its findings", Uganda's semi-official 'New Vision' newspaper reported on Thursday. "From that methodology of interviewing every person mentioned during the investigations, whether civilian or an army officer or
privates, Congolese, Ugandan or Rwandese, I would say the team fairly did its work," he said. Media organisations say the report - which has not been made public - places the bulk of the blame for the clashes on the Ugandan soldiers. Rutayisire said the report should be made available to the public in Rwanda and Uganda.
