Why has Rwanda re-opened its border with Uganda?
After three years, Rwanda has opened its busiest land border with Uganda again. The Gatuna-Katuna crossing was closed in 2019 when tensions increased between the two countries. Rwanda had accused Uganda of harassing its citizens and sheltering rebels they thought were trying overthrow its government. Kampala said Kigali had been trying to infiltrate its intelligence services with spies. The border may have reopened but it doesn’t necessarily mean a complete return to warmer diplomatic relations between the neighbours. The closure also had an impact on people’s lives, as well as on trade. So what about those people living either side of the boundary; what does the reopening mean?Host: Alan Kasujja (@kasujja) Reporting: Patience Athuhaire (@patuhaire)#AfricaDaily
