		+	BBC Monitoring reported rumours of Angolan troops in eastern Congo in September 2007.
		+	::Besides keeping an eye on the Congolese insurgents, the Angolans are reportedly in hand to defend oil exploration along the border with Uganda.
		+
		+	::Brief clashes erupted mid-August between Congolese and Ugandan forces over the murder of a Briton working for Canada's [[Heritage Oil]] that is undertaking the exploration. Uganda has claimed that the oil-rich Rukwanzi Island on Lake Albert lies within its national territory, but DRCongo has rejected the assertion.
		+
		+	::Despite the clashes, there was no mention of an Angolan presence. It is however significant to note that on 4 April 2003, a Berlin-based daily Die Tagaszeitung claimed that Heritage Oil was mulling "enlisting peacekeepers from Angola" to "ensure the security of oil exploration" in the Great Lakes region.
