in leadership wrangles within the rebel RCD-ML, led by Ernest Wamba dia
Wamba. "Our allies sent the national political commissar, James
Wapakhabulo, to talk to us...to help us solve problems within the top
leadership," Wamba told IRIN on Tuesday. On Tuesday, the semi-official
'New Vision' daily reported that Wapakhabulo emphasised Uganda was not
behind the RCD-ML leadership problems. Meanwhile, the RCD-ML is to discuss
