PM to UN group: Uganda did not aid M23




By Raymond Baguma

Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi has assured the visiting UN group of experts on DR Congo that Uganda did not in any way support the M23 rebels as alleged in their 2012 report to the UN Security Council.

Rebels widely believed to be backed by Rwanda claimed control of Goma in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, parading through the frontier city of one million people past UN peacekeepers who did nothing to stop them.

Uganda rejected the UN report in a statement to the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, clarifying that Uganda did not in any way aid the M23 rebels and the allegations were false.

Uganda was accused of supporting M23 rebels in form of direct troop reinforcement in DRC territory, weapon deliveries and technical support, planning, political advice and facilitation of external relations.

The UPDF and Rwanda Defence Forces were jointly accused of supporting M23 in a series of attacks in July 2012.

Mbabazi stated the Government position recently while meeting the UN group of experts led by their coordinator, Emilie Serralta. The team of experts is in the country to further investigate the alleged support of M23 rebels by Uganda.

Mbabazi thanked the UN experts for their commitment to resolve the Congo conflict, adding that Uganda is most interested in a peaceful Congo because they are not only neighbors but share common interests including the people who have relatives on either side of both countries’ borders.

Kwa kawaida wanawake wanafikia kilele (mwisho wa utamu wa ngono) kati ya dakika ishirini na saa moja, yaani kwa kifupi inawachukua muda mrefu sana hali inayopelekea mpenzi mvivu kuchoka na ufanyaji wake utakuwa wa “ovyo” hali itakayo kufanya wewe kuishiwa na hamu ya kuendelea. Pamoja na kuchelewa huko ambako kunatokana na utofauti wetu kati ya mwanaume na mwanamke lakini nakumbuka hapo nyuma nilikutana na wanawake 2 waliokuwa ndani ya ndoa na wamezaa lakini hawajawahi kabisa kujua utamu wa tendo hilo alimaharufu kama “kufanya mapenzi”. Natambua kuwa ni ngumu au niseme si wanawake wote ambao wamejaaliwa kimaumbile kwamba wanafanikiwa kufika kileleni zaidi ya mara mbili kila wanapofanya mapenzi/ngono (kumbuka ni kati ya dakika 15 na saa moja hivyo Jibaba hapa awe na uwezo wa kujizuia kwa zaidi ya dk 45) na ikiwa jamaa ni “mzamiaji” basi unaweza ukaondoka na goli 3 ktk mzunguuko mmoja. Lakini kwa nini basi baadhi yao tu ndio wafike kileleni na wengine was...

Mushikiwabo to UN: Enhance civilian protection

By Eugene Kwibuka Rwanda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation has urged the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to invest more energy in the prevention of conflicts for better protection of civilians living in conflict-torn areas. Rwanda’s Foreign minister, Louise Mushikiwabo Louise Mushikiwabo made the call during an open debate on the protection of civilians in armed conflict which the UNSC held in New York on Tuesday. “Rwanda’s core message today is that enhancing the protection of civilians in armed conflict requires action before a conflict starts.

For better protection of civilians in armed-conflict areas, the minister emphasised the need to increase investments in professionalising the military and police forces through adequate training. “Only when the leadership of armed forces shares the international...
