In early October, Uganda impounded four Kenyan trucks carrying fish to the Democratic Republic of Congo. Ugandan officials alleged the fish were immature.
A delegation from Kenya that travelled to free the fish stormed angrily out of a meeting with Ugandan officials. On the Kenyan side of the Busia border, angry fish traders staged protests over their impounded cargo.
