In his first press conference since he became Rwanda’s top diplomat, Dr. Richard Sezibera on Tuesday told reporters that Rwanda wishes to improve the relationship with Uganda so as to end mistreatment that Rwandans face in the country.<\/p>\n
“The relationship is not good, we want it to be better. There are problems you know. The problems of Rwandans going to Uganda and facing mistreatment, the problems of other people who want to disturb Rwanda’s security […] those are the problems we want to resolve to make our relationship better. These issues do not come from us, they emanate from elsewhere,” he said. His Ugandan counterpart, Sam Kuteesa, recently came to Rwanda and met President Paul Kagame with a message from President Yoweri Museveni in relation to misunderstandings between the two countries.<\/p>\n
Dr. Sezibera declined to disclose to the media what was contained in Museveni\u2019s message to Kagame.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat I can tell you is the issues have not been resolved yet, and we are trying to solve them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Dr. Sezibera, further said that regarding the relationship between Rwanda and Burundi, there are no new developments because the existing problems are not caused by Rwanda.
\n“It is not good. The causes of misunderstandings do not emanate from Rwanda. Burundi has its own problems that, at times, it tries to blame on Rwanda but the problems in Burundi are for Burundians,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
