Uganda rejects complaint at international assembly

    NAIROBI

    The government of President Laurent-Desire Kabila last week lodged a complaint about Ugandan and Rwandan “refusal to withdraw from its territory” at the 29th assembly of EU and Africa, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries in the Bahamas. Uganda’s Deputy Speaker Edward Ssekandi told parliament on Monday he had ably defended Uganda against the accusations. “I told the assembly that the Lusaka Agreement allowed the former belligerents to continue providing security until such time as the terms of the Lusaka agreement are implemented,” the independent ‘Monitor’ newspaper quoted him as saying. The EU-ACP assembly subsequently passed a resolution in favour of the Lusaka accord and called on the international community to assist its implementation, Ssekandi added.
