Kampala – President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has reaffirmed Uganda’s commitment to fostering peace and stability in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) following a meeting with Hon. Mbusa Nyamwisi, the Member of Parliament for Butembo in North Kivu Province.

President Museveni revealed on his X platform that their discussions focused on the security situation in Eastern Congo and potential strategies to restore peace in the region.

“Yesterday, I met with Hon. Mbusa Nyamwisi, the Member of Parliament for Butembo in North Kivu Province, DRC. We discussed the security situation in Eastern Congo and explored ways to achieve peace for the benefit of our People. I welcome him,” Museveni posted.

The meeting comes at a time when Eastern Congo remains plagued by armed groups, rebel activities, and regional tensions, affecting both Congolese citizens and neighbouring countries.

Uganda has been actively involved in regional security efforts, including military operations against the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a rebel group linked to violent activities in both Uganda and DRC.

Earlier, Museveni dismissed reports claiming Ugandan troops were in Eastern DRC to fight against M23 rebels, clarifying that they were deployed to fight against Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) and protect infrastructure.

Strengthening Uganda-DRC Relations

Hon. Mbusa Nyamwisi’s visit is seen as a diplomatic move to enhance cooperation between Uganda and the DRC. As a prominent Congolese politician with deep knowledge of North Kivu’s security challenges, his engagement with President Museveni signals a collaborative approach toward stabilising the region.

Uganda has long maintained security and economic ties with the DRC, working through the East African Community (EAC) and bilateral agreements to address cross-border threats and trade partnerships. The ongoing presence of the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) in Eastern Congo to combat insurgencies highlights Kampala’s role in peacebuilding.

President Museveni has consistently advocated for African-led solutions to conflicts, urging for strategic cooperation among leaders in the Great Lakes region.
