With efforts at mediation remaining far from taking shape, Uganda’s indifference in the ongoing border spat with Rwanda has unsettled the leadership in Kigali, which according to sources in the security services and Customs, expected a different reaction to the border closure.
But as the crisis enters a third week, Kampala has neither shown interest in any efforts at mediation nor has it reacted as Rwanda expected, by tightening Customs and immigration controls at its own side of the border.
