Uganda's relations with neighboring states except
Tanzania
have been strained since Museveni seized power in 1986.
Although
overshadowed by internal divisions, clashes have occurred
with
Zaire, Sudan, Kenya, and Rwanda. Accusations of
cross-border
smuggling were the most frequent cause of these problems,
but in
some cases, strains already existed because Uganda and its
neighbors harbored each other's antigovernment rebel
groups.
Museveni generally tried to negotiate settlements to these
conflicts.
Data as of December 1990
