Rwanda/Uganda Border Closed

Rwanda has closed its border with Uganda, the BBC reports. It’s a closing that is affecting many who travel routinely across the border for work and food, healthcare and education.

Rwanda is upset with Uganda, in part, because of efforts by Uganda to deport Rwandans from Uganda. Rwanda also accuses Uganda of torturing Rwandans in Uganda and planning a coup of Rwanda.

Uganda denies the allegations and, the BBC notes, several of those deported Rwandans were accused of espionage.
