Uganda protested Thursday at an order by the UN's highest court for it to pay the Democratic Republic of Congo $325 million in damages over a brutal war two decades ago.
The payment fell far short of the $11 billion (9.62 billion euros) in reparations demanded by Kinshasa over a conflict that is believed to have killed hundreds of thousands of people.
