RWANDAN and Ugandan troops, who clashed two weeks ago in Kisangani in northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo, have left the town, said the UN Secretary General’s special envoy to the country. “The two parties are already on the way to their positions of deployment, 100 kilometres from Kisangani centre,” Kamel Morjane said. “Today, there is no Rwandan or Ugandan soldier left in Kisangani.” At the weekend, Uganda and Rwanda traded accusations that their troops were reinforcing positions in Kisangani, contravening an agreement to pull out their forces following earlier clashes that killed more than 160 civilians.
