Ugandan and Rwandan leaders plan to reopen their busiest border, probably in April, after probing security allegations that have risked sparking a new wave of unrest in the region.
Kampala will within one month verify allegations by Kigali that there are anti-Rwanda forces operating from Uganda, according to a statement released following a presidential summit at the border. Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni and his Rwandan counterpart Paul Kagame met for the fourth time on the matter, along with convener, Angolan President Joao Lourenco. President Felix Tshisekedi of neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo attended the meeting.
