The former Congolese president denied giving shelter to the rebels
Former Democratic Republic of the Congo president Joseph Kabila denied Uganda's charges that he provided shelter for the Islamic rebel organisation and permitted it to plunder the nation's resources.
Yoweri Museveni, the president of Uganda, claimed last week that Mr. Kabila had permitted the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) to establish sizable camps, mine gold, and trade lumber.
The ADF was established in the 1990s, and it took up guns to oppose President Museveni on the grounds that Muslims were being persecuted.
Kabila said to Reuters that President Museveni's "false accusations of injustice, who is one of the insurgents in the region, is just a joke to distract and divide the Congolese people."
As restitution for the atrocities perpetrated during the war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo's eastern region, a top court of the UN ordered Uganda to pay Kinshasa hundreds of millions of dollars last year.
A month has passed since ADF insurgents were allegedly responsible for the deaths of around 42 kids at a school in western Uganda.
