The following is part of the news from "The newvision"
Apac Resident District Commissioner (RDC),
Drani Dradriga, said on Wednesday, “We have received more UPDF soldiers
and this is to enable the army to respond very quickly to LRA attacks.”
UPDF 5th division commander based in Pader Col. John Mugume said,
“We have intensified our mop-up operations and have
been able to destroy most of the enemy hideouts in Lira and Pader
districts.” “They (LRA) have now fled towards Kitgum district
and towards the Sudan border,” Mugume
said.
Col. John Mugume seems to imply that Kitgum
is a no go area for Ugandan soldiers. Is it
true?
If you persue criminals who have entered
Uganda and seek sanctuary in parts of the country, why not
persue them? Sudan too has given Uganda access to her
southern parts in order for UPDF to anhilate the
rebels.
I think that statement is
irresponsible unless Uganda has given up on Kitgum and the Col. would
like us to believe that now Kitgum is occupied by
LRA.
