{UAH} Rwanda now deploys army along its borders with Uganda
Rwanda has heavily deployed armed personnel along its border lines with Uganda further raising already strained diplomatic tensions between the two countries.
The armed personnel are visible in the hills at Mukaniga, Byumba and Buganza. Also at Chanika in Kisoro district, the Rwandan army can be seen patrolling the Rwandan side of the border.
Uganda's Internal Security Organization (ISO) officials and locals confirmed the presence of the heavily armed Rwanda Defence Force soldiers along the borders.
Although ISO officials said, Uganda doesn't see a reason yet to also deploy armed personnel, Rwanda's deployment has aroused tensions among the locals near the borders.
Rwanda and Uganda once fought a deadly battle on foreign soil in Kisangani in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in June 2000. The number of casualties was in excess of 1,000, with Uganda registering the biggest deaths.
