The Ugandan government is concerned about what it called a negotiation attempt by the East African Community led by former Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta to reconcile the M23 rebels with the Democratic Republic of Congo government while fighting continues.
The East African Community had agreed to send a joint force to fight the M23 rebels although some countries have refused to implement this.
State Minister for Foreign Affairs Henry Oryem Okello said the tensions in the negotiations were worrying at the moment while the fighting continued.
Minister Oryem said they have decided to speak out against the M23 rebels.
The move comes after the coalition forces in eastern Congo ordered last week to take over the main town of Rumangabo from the M23 rebels in 2022. The M23 rebels have decided to withdraw from the town and hand it over to the peacekeepers Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The area is adjacent to Goma and is located near the UN peacekeeping base in Congo.
The area also contains weapons and danger of the Congolese army as M23 rebels had attacked the Congolese army knows in November when M23 had locked up.
The government of the Democratic Republic of Congo led by Felix Tshisekedi has accused Rwandan of providing weapons and money to the M23 rebels.by Dan mugula .
