Gen Muhoozi, S.Sudan Army Chief Hold Special Meeting Amidst Deadly Border Crashes, See What They Agreed! 

By Frank Kamuntu

The Uganda Chief of Defense Forces (CDF) Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba on Saturday held talks with his South Sudan counterpart Gen Santino Deng Wol.

The meeting, the CDF’s office stated, focused on “regional security issues of mutual interest”.

“The two military leaders acknowledged the longstanding relationship between Uganda and South Sudan, committing to further enhancing military to military relations,” it added.

The meeting comes in the wake of recent border skirmishes between the two nations, with the South Sudanese army accusing their Ugandan counterpart (UPDF) of encroaching into its territory.

South Sudan and Uganda have had border disputes which would result into violence and conflict for years now.

The conflict is deeply rooted in historical arrangements made during colonial times when borders were drawn without consultation with local populations. This has led to tensions among various ethnic groups who inhabit these areas, especially in areas like Lamwo, Nimule, Kajo-Keji and Moyo district.

The Ugandan army team at the meeting in Mbuya comprised of the deputy CDF Lt Gen Sam Okiding, Air Force Commander Lt Gen Charles Okidi, the Deputy Commander Land Forces Maj Gen Francis Takirwa and the Chief of Defense Intelligence and Security Maj Gen James Birungi.

The South Sudanese army chief was on the other hand accompanied by his senior military officials.
