According to Ugandan defence minister, DR Congo keeps attacking Uganda across their joint border. Also, DR Congo is harboring Ugandan rebel troops.
The defence minister's comments don't sound threatening, just complaints. I don't doubt that those things are happening; a country in such turmoil as the DR Congo could quite possibly have people fighting on the eastern side without the western side knowing. The 17,000 UN troops stationed in DR Congo are not enough to monitor every group within the nation so odd events could easily occur by factions.
This is just another example of the instability in DR Congo as it continues to fight towards a healthy government after it gained independence over 40 years ago. Dictators like Mobutu Sese Seko have made that process hard and it wasn't until last year that the DR Congo had its first free election. Creating a new governement is strenuous but DR Congo is slowly getting there.
