Border Security Talks Begin Between Uganda and DR Congo

The Minister of Defense for the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Charles Mwando Nsimba, has arrived in Uganda for a two-day conference on cross-border security between the two nations. While the leaders hope for talks on peace and trade (Uganda sees DR Congo as a potential market for goods), a major point of discussion will be on plans to stop "border insurgency by negative forces." The shared border between the countries has been used as a place of attack for Joseph Kony and the Lord's Resistance Army which has led to massive civilian casualties in both countries.
