Whatever war in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo is never complete until the involvement of of Rwanda and Uganda is confirmed. The scenario has been experienced for a very long time and latest insurrection by former Banyamulenge soldiers under the movement of March 23rd (M23) is not any different. The Civil society and locals in Eastern Congo have claimed to have come across Ugandans and Rwandans soldiers.


Determined to deal with the situation once for all, Angola’s President Jose Eduardo Dos Santos planned to give a helping hand to President Kabila. He assembled an elite team that would be airlifted to Eastern Congo to get rid of Bosco Ntaganda.

However a few days before the International Conference on the Great Lakes region, Ugandan President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni travelled personally to meet his Angolan counterpart in Luanda to dissuade him (Eduardo Dos Santos) from entering into the mix for fear of taking the war to other proportions.
