Sudan to send additional troops to DR Congo: Ugandan paper

KAMPALA, Sept 25 (AFP) - Sudan will send an additional 1,500 troops to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to back President Laurent Kabila against Tutsi-led rebels, the Ugandan state-owned New Vision newspaper said Friday. The troops include Rwandan Hutu rebels and Ugandan rebels and are reportedly being retrained at Gitena on the outskirts of Khartoum, the paper quoted a senior Ugandan security source as saying.

The source said that Kabila had arranged at a meeting in Khartoum last Friday for the troops to be airlifted from their camp to the DRC, where they would join 2,000 other Sudanese troops and militia already deployed there. The source added that the Ugandan rebel contingent, which includes fighters from the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) and the Uganda National Rescue Front Two (UNRF-2), had been flown to Khartoum from their rear bases in government-held territory in southern Sudan and eastern DRC.
