Kampala has spoken out against the order by the International Court of Justice to compensate neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo $325 million in war reparations for the invasion and looting by Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) more than 20 years ago.
State Minister in Charge of International Relations Henry Oryem ruled out payments by Uganda, saying DR Congo needs a more cordial relationship than the money it has been awarded.
