The Ugandan government fired a Ugandan Army major general. Major General James Kazini faces charges of plundering (theft) in the DRC. Kazini is one of several senior officers and officials from the DRC, Uganda, Rwanda, and Zimbabwe who a UN investigation team has charged with massive theft during the Congo war. The arrest indicates that the Ugandan government now believes the charges can be substantiated. Early on, Uganda rejected the charges as false.
