UN report accuses Uganda leader's brother on Congo

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — A new U.N. report that accuses the Rwandan military of commanding and supporting rebel forces in eastern Congo also charges that the brother of Uganda’s long-serving president actively backs the movement.

Salim Saleh, 52, is a retired army general, a former Cabinet minister, a legendary bush-war fighter, and a businessman once implicated by the U.N. in the plunder of Congo’s natural resources. But in Uganda Saleh, who is known to his family as Caleb Akandwanaho, is best known as President Yoweri Museveni’s scandal-prone sibling, an intriguing figure for researchers and academics interested in a country that, like Rwanda, has a long history of meddling in the internal affairs of its vast western neighbor.
