Uganda reaffirms support

    NAIROBI

    Addressing the JMC meeting, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni reaffirmed Uganda’s support for the Lusaka accord, saying it “addresses the security concerns of the DRC’s neighbours” as well as the Congo’s “longtime internal problems”, according to a government statement. The issue had “divided the freedom fighters of Africa”, who had found themselves fighting on opposites sides in the DRC conflict, Museveni said. The Lusaka accord would enable the region to “re-channel its resources from war into development,” the statement said, adding that Museveni had appealed to the UN to “come in without delay” to help implement the peace plan.
