Ugandan fury over UN report into Congo “war crimes”

In a recent report from the United Nation, it alleges that the Ugandan army committed war crimes and crimes against humanity when they were involved in the conflicts in the DR Congo between 1993 and 2003. They include allegations of massacres of civilians, torture, and the destruction of infrastructure that led to civilian deaths.

Ugandan Foreign Minister Sam Kutesa says Uganda rejects the report content as they feel that this report is bias, because it has no “real proof” as he accuses the authors of relying on information provided by people whose motives are not reliable, and of failing to consult Uganda on the allegations.

This report might lead to Uganda pulling out in regional peacekeeping missions.
