Kigali, Kampala to support one DRC rebel group

    NAIROBI

    Rwanda and Uganda have pledged to support a single rebel liberation movement in DRC, Rwandan radio reported on Thursday. The agreement followed a visit to Rwanda by a top-level delegation from Uganda as part of ongoing efforts to mend strained relations between the two countries after their armies clashed in Kisangani in August. “The fact that we support many different rebel groups means we lost lots of money and resources and this probably makes the help we give much less effective,” Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) secretary-general Charles Murigande was quoted as saying.
