The President of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni has accused the United Nations of “preserving terrorism” in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
U.N. peacekeepers deployed to the central African country have failed to deal successfully with the activities of militants and rebels who continue to launch deadly attacks.
The Ugandan leader held a meeting with UN officials investigating the ambush of peacekeepers in eastern Congo last month that left 15 dead and 53 wounded.
In a statement after this meeting President Museveni said “The UN is responsible for preserving terrorism in the Democratic Republic of Congo”.
A Ugandan Islamist rebel group, the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) is believed to be behind many attacks in eastern Congo with the UN blaming the recent ambush of on the group.
The attack was described by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres as the worst on the world body in recent history.
Recently Uganda carried out air on the rebel group.
