Rwanda’s government has requested Uganda to deal with allegations of Ugandan hostile forces towards Rwanda before the Gatuna/Katuna border is opened.
This was recommended at the 4th Quadripartite Summit of Luanda that took place on Friday.
“The summit recommended that Uganda should within one month verify the allegations made by Rwanda about action on its territory by forces hostile to Rwandan government. If the allegations are proved the Ugandan government will take all measures to stop it and prevent it from happening again,” the communiqué from the summit said.
Presidents Yoweri Museveni and Paul Kagame met at the summit to discuss the reopening of the border point a year after Rwanda closed it.
The summit was facilitated by President Joao Lourenco of Angola and President Felix Tshisekedi of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
It is the latest in a series of meetings aimed to end the ongoing standoff between the two countries.
According to the communiqué, once the recommendation is fulfilled and reported to the heads of state, the facilitators will convene within 15 days in a summit in Gatuna/Katuna for the reopening of borders and subsequent normalization of the relations between the two countries.
Both presidents also signed an extradition treaty to facilitate justice in case of insurgencies practiced by nationals in each country.
