Leaders in the East African region are pushing hard to bring peace in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), but their efforts could be frustrated because of the fire being fuelled by the head of the Uganda People’s Defense Forces (UPDF), General Muhoozi Kainerugaba.

Over the past week, the UPDF boss, a son of President Yoweri Museveni, has been behaving like an enraged bull, warning of his imminent attack of the DRC region of Bunia, where he claims “his people” the Bahima-Tutsi clansmen, are being persecuted.
