Uganda denies Rwandan accusations that its supporting rebels opposing President Paul Kagame and jailing torturing and deporting its citizens.

The love-hate relationship between Uganda and Rwanda –  who share a political, ethnic and security history – destabilizes the Great Lakes Region.

Rwandan leader Paul Kagame fought to bring Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni to power.

Uganda, in turn,  supported Kagame’t Tutsi rebels after the 1994 genocide by Hutus.

Now Uganda’s accused of supporting the Rwanda National Congress led by South African-based Kayumba Nyamwasa and the Hutu rebel group called the Democratic Front For The Liberation of  Rwanda.

Closing two of the three border crossings between the countries has virtually paralysed trade in the region.
