Ugandan troops on “full alert”

    NAIROBI

    Meanwhile, Ugandan troops are reportedly on full alert ahead of a possible resumption of the war, the ‘New Vision’ reported on Monday. It said hundreds of Ugandan and Congolese rebel soldiers were rushed to frontline positions at the weekend in northwestern DRC after the alleged attacks at Dongo and Makanza.

    The paper quoted Ugandan military sources as saying the government “stands by the Lusaka accord but cannot stand by when attacked”. “We have our troops on full alert,” the sources said.
