Museveni told Kenyatta he has no problems with Rwanda

He revealed this yesterday in a talk show ‘Ikaze Munyarwanda’ aired on Radio Flash when asked what Museveni might have told Kenyatta on Rwanda.

“Museveni told him (Kenyatta) that there is no problem,” said Nduhungirehe.

When asked if it is not the right time to seek a mediator between the two countries, Nduhungirehe said mending the relationship is complicated when one side doesn’t agree with the existence of the problem.

“The mediator intervenes between two people whom each did something where everyone commits his involvement to mend relations to be followed by consensus agreements. Today it is not the case. There is no statement from Uganda accepting there is a problem, throwing everything back to us. So, all situations cannot be taken at the same extent,” he said.

President Kenyatta was in Rwanda on Monday where he held talks with his Rwandan counterpart Paul Kagame as he chaired the National Leadership Retreat in Gabiro RDF’s Combat Training Center. Kenyatta left Rwanda for Uganda to meet president Museveni at his office in Entebbe.

The visits took place at a time bilateral relations between Rwanda and Uganda is deteriorating. Rwanda accuses Uganda to support rebel groups intending to destabilize its security, torturing Rwandans and tampering their businesses.

A political analyst and lecturer at the University of Rwanda, Dr. Christopher Kayumba has said that the matter won’t be addressed unless citizens exert pressure to their leaders.

“This matter concerns citizens of Rwanda and Uganda. They are most affected. When there is no free movement so that a citizen can cross the border to sell Irish potatoes he can’t afford means to provide school fees,” he said.

He explained that citizens from both countries must react on it demonstrating how it deteriorates inter-trade and reminding their leaders to address issues on account that they were voted to represent their interests.

However; Nduhungirehe said that Rwandans have no need to put pressure on the government because it did all it could to fix relations yet Uganda demonstrated no commitment.

The government of Rwanda recently advised Rwandans to suspend travels to Uganda following killings, torture, and incarcerations of Rwandans trading in and through Uganda.
