Museveni asked to explain Kisangani clashes

    NAIROBI

    Prime Minister Apolo Nsibambi has requested President Yoweri Museveni to address parliament on this week's outbreak of fighting between Ugandan and Rwandan troops in Kisangani, following political disquiet in Uganda about the clashes, the 'Monitor' newspaper reported on Thursday. "Possibilities exist for the president agreeing to meet you. I'm on the brink of getting an answer", Nsibambi said, adding that he had suggested 30 August as a suitable date but that it would be subject to the president being available.
