Uganda vowed to expel Sudanese rebel leaders living in the country, signaling a potential thaw in relations between two African nations that in the past have accused each other of supporting anti-government insurgencies.
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni and Sudanese second Vice President Hasabo Abdel-Rahman agreed that “the dissidents of Sudan in Uganda should leave” during a meeting in the capital, Kampala, this week, Ugandan Foreign Affairs spokesman Fred Opolot said by phone on Thursday. A statement on the website of Sudan’s foreign ministry in Khartoum confirmed an agreement on “ending activities of negative groups.”
