The Commander of the Land Forces in the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF), Lieutenant General Muhoozi Kainerugaba has arrived in Kigali on Monday, March 14.
According to sources, he is expected to meet President Paul Kagame in discussions of continuous efforts to mend ties between the two neighbouring countries.
This will be the second meeting between the two following one they held earlier this year that saw Rwanda reopening its Gatuna border after a couple of years in closure.
Muhoozi and Kagame then agreed to take practical steps towards resolving issues that have caused tensions between the two countries.
The move to reopen the border, which was among the key issues at the centre of relations between the two countries, sent a strong signal that the neighbours could be moving towards resolving the issues that have crippled relations in recent years.
Meanwhile, border reopening came few days after Gen Yoweri Museveni transferred some of the individuals accused by Rwanda of being behind acts that target innocent Rwandans in Uganda, notably Maj. Gen. Abel Kandiho, the former head of the Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI).
Kandiho had been accused by Rwanda for being behind the witch-hunt targeting Rwandans inside Uganda, arbitrarily arresting them on accusations of espionage and detaining them incommunicado. He was also accused of working with subversive groups looking to destabilise Rwanda.
