Up to 200 of Joseph Kony's LRA rebels on Sunday entered Uganda from their
base inside Sudan.
"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.
