"It is true some groups came in from Sudan under Commander Tabuley with instructions," UPDF spokesman Maj. Shaban Bantariza said on phone. Kitgum RDC Lt. Santo Okot Lapolo said there is a new group of rebels to the west of Kitgum in Palabek. He said another group is moving towards Omiya Anyima in Chua. Intelligence Co-ordinator of Operation Iron Fist, Lt. Col. Charles Otema-Awany said his office was still verifying the information. They assured the people in the Acholi sub-region of security during Christmas and New Year celebrations. Bantariza denied allegation that the new rebel group would contradict his earlier claim that the people in the region would have peaceful Christmas. He said UPDF is there to ensure that they do not relax during festivities like Christmas. "There is no contradiction. The thugs have always been there. We all agree on the fact that a peaceful situation is developing in Northern Uganda. There is calmness," he said.
