Uganda dismisses UN report's claims it backs M23 rebels in DRC

Uganda's military on Wednesday dismissed claims in a report by UN experts that it was backing M23 rebels active in the restive east of the neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo.

"The allegations are laughable, baseless, and illogical to say Uganda is working to destabilize DRC," deputy defense spokesman Deo Akiiki told AFP. "Our forces have been working together with DRC forces to ensure peace returns to eastern DRC."
