{{The Ugandan government has banned Sudanese rebel movements of meeting in its territories arguing that such gatherings would negatively impact the country.}}<\/p>\n
The director of the Ugandan Security Services informed the rebel leaders in a secrete meeting that they should immediately refrain from holding any meetings in Kampala.<\/p>\n
Uganda informed the rebels of the decision on Monday which included Minni Minnawi of the Sudan Liberation Movement\/Minnawi (SLM-M), Abdel-Wahid Mohamed Nur of the Sudan Liberation Movement\/AW (SLA-AW), and Ayoub Mohamed of Darfur People\u2019s Unity Movement.<\/p>\n
The rebel leaders are said to have apologized for their “mistakes” and promised not to hold further meetings on Ugandan territory.<\/p>\n
The source said that Kampala has been under pressure take this move, without providing further details.<\/p>\n
Khartoum and Kampala have a long history of troubled relations over alleged support to rebel groups on both sides of their borders.<\/p>\n
Kampala says that Khartoum is still providing support and refuge to the notorious Ugandan rebels, the Lord Resistance Army (LRA), even after South Sudan\u2019s secession created a buffer zone between Sudan and Uganda.<\/p>\n
Khartoum on the other hand says that Kampala has become a safe harbour for Sudanese rebel leaders.<\/p>\n
Last January, Sudanese opposition parties and rebel groups signed a charter in Kampala known as the “New Dawn”, putting their stated goal to topple the Khartoum government via different political and military means.<\/p>\n
This has prompted Khartoum to lodge several complaints with the African Union (AU) and other regional blocs against Kampala saying the latter is supporting regime change in Sudan.<\/p>\n
Last March, the speaker of the Sudan\u2019s national assembly Ahmed Ibrahim al-Tahir said that the Sudanese government is working with forces in Uganda that are opposed to president Yoweri Museveni to bring about “positive political influence”.<\/p>\n
