Uganda: Regional Anti-Terrorism Conference Closes

Kampala

The US-sponsored East and Horn of Africa Anti-Terrorism conference was in its closing session late Friday as ministers and delegates expressed confidence the talks would enhance cooperation between the 11 states in tackling the threat of terrorism in the region.

Uganda's minister for internal affairs, Ruhankana Rugunda, who opened the conference told IRIN: "It has made very good progress - there is no cause for disagreement between any countries in these discussions. On the contrary, there is now consensus on the way forward".


Rugunda said the main thrust of the discussions concerns "ways of improving communication between countries in the region".

"The essence of this project is to track people using modern methods of keeping tabs on them - such as biometric techniques, including fingerprinting and photographing. We are increasingly using fingerprints as a reliable indicator," Rugunda said.

Mark Schlachter, public affairs officer for the American embassy in Kampala said: "The aim is really just to assess how well we've done so far and see where we can do better. That's all".

Rugunda told IRIN: "Countries in East Africa have been victims of terrorism. We are therefore working together and we are happy the United States are making efforts to help us".
