Is it true? DRC civil societies claim that Ugandan army presence on Congolese land.



Ugandan army soldiers crossed the Congolese border in Mahagi territory located more than 180 km north of the city of Bunia, Ituri province.

The fact happened on Monday, September 11, according to Anican Tengo, a local civil society actor who alerted.

′′ The territory of Mahagi is already undercover, on Monday the millilitaries UPDF (Uganda National Defense Forces) returned to Congolese soil aboard two trucks. They entered the Zolo village in War-Palara chiefdom, on the pretext that they were looking for a secret service agent in their country he explains in a telephone exchange.

Still according to the same source, both trucks came back empty, while the UPDF millitians walked on foot.

′′ We don't know how many of them were and if all came back, nor the cause that prompted them to enter our house in violation of the Congolese border ′′ worries Mr. Tengo.

Still in this unit, a Congolese police officer was captured the same week by Ugandan services who came to pick him up while visiting his mom in the border village of Uriwo.

We have failed to contact the admin of Mahagi territory for his version of the facts.
