Rwanda’s 2nd Division commander Brigadier General Emmy Ruvusha said that the rebels have been regrouping but the challenge has always been that Uganda and Rwanda cannot go beyond their borders to hunt down the enemies.
The best way to go is to work closely and ensure that the challenges are handled jointly, says Brigadier General Emmy Ruvusha.
