    It was also in DR Congo that Mr Kagame's relations with former close friend and comrade in arms, President Museveni of Uganda, turned sour.

    Their two armies clashed in Kisangani during 1999 and 2000 - competing for the greatest share of spoils and influence in the war ravaged region.

    Relations between the two strongmen are still strained with both countries supporting rival groups in the DR Congo - despite peace agreements.
