Top army leaders from Uganda and Rwanda met for dinner near Lake Victoria last week. General Muhoozi from Uganda praised the friendship between military forces that Presidents Museveni and Kagame helped build. Both countries share more than land borders, but also want peace across East Africa. The meeting happened after Rwanda's military chief, General Muganga, gave a talk at a Ugandan army college in Jinja.
Muganga told students how African nations can fix security problems without help from other continents. He started his army career at this same college years ago and felt happy coming back. Many high-ranking officers from the Uganda police and army groups joined the dinner event. Both generals agreed to work together on stopping terrorism and sharing information between their forces.
This visit shows healing between countries that once had bad feelings for several years. The team's plan is to make East Africa safer through better teamwork among all military groups in the area.
