Rwanda’s foreign affairs minister Richard Sezibera has accused Uganda of supporting its enemies, restricting movement of Rwandan goods on its territory and harassing its citizens.
During a press conference in Kigali on Tuesday morning,Mr Sezibera said talks between Presidents Museveni and Paul Kagame as well as among senior government officials on both sides, have failed to resolve Kigali’s concerns.
He accused some Ugandan officials of supporting groups that are hostile to Rwanda. He claimed that some of the groups operating in Uganda have carried out attacks in different parts of Rwanda.
“There are armed groups, individuals who head armed groups that are opposed to the government of Rwanda, that have a violent agenda towards Rwanda who operates in Uganda [such as] the Rwanda National Congress (RNC) [and]…these are groups that have carried out (criminal) acts here in Rwanda and are based in Uganda; and, the third is the challenge related to the free movement of Rwandan goods across Ugandan territory,” he added.
