Government cooperating with Uganda to expose divisive elements

The Rwandan and Ugandan governments are working together to expose security officials who are damaging relations between the two countries, according to the independent Ugandan newspaper The Monitor. Maj Emmanuel Ndahiro, Rwandan President Paul Kagame's military advisor, told The Monitor that the plan had been agreed by both countries' presidents. "The objective is to completely demonstrate to the Ugandans that the intelligence organisations there have got it completely wrong," The Monitor quoted Ndahiro as saying. His comments come just one week after Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni warned political rivals believed to be in Rwanda to abandon their plans to launch a war against Uganda from Rwanda. In a direct reference to Museveni's comments, Ndahiro promised that former Ugandan army (UPDF) officers Col Samson Mande and Lt Col Anthony Kyakable, who have declared war against Uganda, would not attack the country from Rwanda. "Nobody will train rebels from here," he told The Monitor. UPDF spokesman Lt Col Phinehas Katirima meanwhile denied Rwandan allegations that Rwandan rebels were being trained in Uganda.
