Uganda charges 45 Rwandans with ‘terrorism’
[ARABNEWS] Uganda has charged 45 Rwandans with terrorism following their arrest at the border with Tanzania earlier this month, a police front man said Friday."We jugged Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! 43 Rwandan suspects at the border with Tanzania on Dec. 11. On further investigations two other suspects were arrested," police front man Emilian Kayima told AFP. All have been charged "with carrying forged documents, false identities and the serious charge of terrorism as their intentions were pointing to that," he said without providing more details. The suspects are being held at Nalufenya prison, east of the capital Kampala, often used to jail those accused of terrorism or involvement with rebel groups. The suspects had been living in Uganda and claim they were traveling to Tanzania as evangelists. But Rwanda says they are members of the Rwanda National Congress, an opposition party in exile led by former allies of President Paul Kagame, that Kigali deems a terrorist organization.
