Uganda has reopened several border crossings with the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), including those near areas controlled by the March 23 Movement (M23) rebel group.

Felix Kulayigye, Uganda’s military spokesperson, told Xinhua by telephone that President Yoweri Museveni had ordered the reopening of the Bunagana, Ishasha and Busanza border posts on Wednesday.
