Rwanda, as a country with substantial evidence that Uganda has a hand in supporting the militant groups operating in the area where the military operations are taking place, should not remain silent as long as the Ugandan army is operating in areas where the headquarter of these Anti Rwanda- rebel goroupsw are based. This was recently confirmed by the spokesperson of the Rwandan Government, Yolande Makolo, who said that even though Rwanda is not concerned with Uganda-Congo Kinshasa agreement, it will continue to pursue UPDF operation in DRCongo until it is completed, so as not to pose a security threat to Rwandan security.
