The group is part of the 130 Rwandans that Uganda government officials promised to set free during a meeting with their Rwandan counterparts last week.

Plans to set the Rwandans free were announced last week as senior Rwandan and Ugandan officials held a video conference as part of both countries' continuing effort to work on normalising relations between both countries.

During the June 4 meeting, the Rwandan delegation was led by foreign affairs minister Vincent Biruta while the Ugandan side was led by Sam Kutesa, the Ugandan foreign minister.

Angola and the DR Congo are facilitators in the ongoing process to normalize the relations between Rwanda and Uganda, which was kick-started by a Memorandum of Understanding signed between both countries in the Angolan capital Luanda in September last year.

Last week, Kutesa told the meeting that in May, up to 130 Rwandans detained in Uganda were set free and were being processed to be returned home.
