Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (ADV) – Ugandan President has come out of the shadow on Tuesday to acknowledge holding a “private meeting” with members of a dissident group seeking to unseat the government of Kigali.

President Yoweri Museveni’s statement is allegedly contained in a letter he dispatched on Tuesday to his Rwandan counterpart, Paul Kagame, sources said Tuesday.

The African Press Agency (APA) correspondent in Rwanda who revealed the information did not provide more details.

President Museveni’s acknowledgement comes barely a day following the deportation on Monday from Uganda of a group of four Rwandans who were detained and allegedly tortured in Ugandan cells, according to APA.

Uganda had explained that if any Rwandan was jailed in Uganda must have committed some form of crime and were legible to face trial and possible detention if found guilty.

In light of this, the government in Kigali has advised its citizens against travelling to Uganda.

It can be recalled that Uganda had accused Kigali of unilaterally imposing an embargo on goods entering its territory.

Kigali also accused Ugandan of backing armed groups and terrorist organisations hostile to Rwanda, including RNC, FDLR and others, who it claimed were receiving several forms of assistance and support from Uganda.

Kigali had always argued that it had repeatedly communicated all those strategic information to the government of Uganda but without any reaction from Kampala.
