Kisangani report accepted "with reservations"

At the same press conference, Uganda's national political commissar, James Wapakhabulo, denied reports that Kampala had rejected the findings of the report into the mid-August clashes. He said Uganda accepted the report, but with "some reservations". It believed there were some conclusions that were inconsistent with the facts established and that the report may not have correctly addressed some issues. Kampala had suggested that "some areas need deeper analysis", PANA reported. The Uganda Army High Command was reported to have rejected the report, saying it tended to blame the Uganda People's Defence Forces (UPDF) more than was warranted.
