: Kigali ready to compensate if found guilty over Kisangani

    NAIROBI

    The Kigali government was prepared to apologise to Uganda and pay compensation for the soldiers killed in mid-August’s clashes in Kisangani if it was found that the Rwandese Patriotic Front (RPF) caused the incidents, RPF leader Charles Murigande told journalists in Kampala. “Likewise, Uganda I hope would have no problem apologising and paying compensation for the dead if it is established that Uganda was the cause of the tragedy,” he added, according to the Ugandan semi-official ‘New Vision’ daily. Murigande was leading a “damage control mission” to Kampala this week, the paper recalled.
