Rwanda, Uganda a regional “danger’”

    NAIROBI

    The Angolan ambassador to DRC, Joao Batista Mawete, has accused Rwanda and Uganda of “putting international security in danger,” AFP reported today. In an interview with the Kinshasa daily ‘Le Potentiel’, Mawete said: “What is happening militarily in the DRC is not different from what we are experiencing in Angola. There are hundreds of Rwandans and Ugandans in the ranks of UNITA.” He said both countries were arming and training the rebel movement. He added that Luanda’s “active” support for the Kinshasa government was “unconditional”.
