The meeting is part of the Memorandum of Understanding between the governments of Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo to jointly fight the Allied Democratic Forces rebels in Eastern DRC.

The UPDF delegation was led by the Chief of Defence Forces, Gen. Wilson Mbasu Mbadi whereas the FARDC side was led by the Chief of General Staff Lt. Gen. Christian Tshiwewe Songesha.

President Museveni advised the Senior officers to ensure that the forces are close and friendly to the people if they are to win against the hostile forces.

“The army must always be close to the people. You cannot fight a war without the support of the population,” Gen. Museveni said.

“That is why the politics and discipline of the army must be right because otherwise if people are angry with you, even if you fight well, in the end you will lose,” he added.

Gen. Mbadi said the meeting comes at a critical stage that requires better decision-making by the joint forces.

“Our efforts must bring peace and security in Eastern DRC, especially in the area of Operation Shujaa to enable our people to engage in socio-economic activities for their well-being and cross-border trade,” said Gen Mbadi as he commended the people of Eastern DRC for being hardworking and only require peace and security from their government.

“Your presence here today is a clear testimony of the importance you attach to the existing bilateral relations between our two countries which are growing by strength; not only the importance you attach to the bilateral relations but also to Operation Shujaa for the pacification of that part of the country,” Gen Mbadi said as he welcomed his counterpart, Lt Gen. Tshiwewe.

The CDF said that the UPDF and FARDC should continue to enhance cooperation in defence, especially in the areas of training and explore available opportunities in the defence industries for the mutual benefit of the two brotherly countries.

On his part, Lt Gen. Tshiwewe paid tribute and compassion to the UPDF troops who lost their lives and those injured in the battleground during the ongoing operation Shujaa for the benefit of bringing peace.

“We do not take for granted the sacrifice of the fallen UPDF men and women, casualties in the battleground and the families of the bereaved colleagues for the peace they have won for the good of the rest of the people in DRC and Uganda,” Lt Gen. Tshiwewe noted.

He also saluted Lt Gen. Kayanja Muhanga the Commander of Land Forces, Maj Gen. Dick Olum the overall Commander Operation Shuuja and Maj Gen. James Birungi the Chief of Military Intelligence for their tremendous work in Operation Shuuja.

The meeting was attended by; Lt Gen. Kayanja Muhanga, Maj Gen. Dick Olum, Maj. Gen. James Birungi, Maj. Gen. Christian Ndaywel Okura (CMI FARDC), Maj. Gen. Mpezo Mbele Bruno (Commander 34th Military region, North Kivu) and other Senior Officers from UPDF and FARDC.
