 KINSHASA, Congo (AP) - Congo once estimated it was owed $10 billion by Uganda for an invasion in the 1990s, but it said Tuesday it is reassessing the figure now that the world court has ruled the incursion unlawful and for the first time ordered an African country to pay reparations.
Information Minister Henri Mova-Sakanyi said Tuesday that before Monday's ruling by the International Court of Justice, Congo had estimated damages from Uganda's invasion at $10 billion.
"We are re-evaluating the damages," he said, adding he had no idea whether Congo would in the end ask for more or less. He said the re-evaluation was standard procedure before making a formal request in The Hague.
