Tension between Rwandan, Ugandan troops

    NAIROBI
    Tensions between Ugandan and Rwandan troops in the DRC remained "very high", South African Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Aziz Pahad said on Monday. The 'Business Day' newspaper quoted Pahad as telling a parliamentary meeting that lasting peace in the Congo could only be achieved when the security concerns of Angola, Rwanda and Uganda were addressed. Pahad also said it was "unlikely" that a proposed UN force in the DRC would enforce peace and that the actual disarmament of militia groups would have to be done by the armies involved in the conflict, the newspaper reported.
