This isn't the first time UPDF has used such a scorched earth
strategy. It's indefensible, reprehensible, and criminal
behavior. Much like the mad cattle keeper in Ma'di lore who torched
the entire kraal because he saw a lion enter it.

UPDF is raping the women of Lapul LC3
The
UPDF Mobile teams are now destroying food crops and fruit trees
in
civilian homes in the villages and "sleeping with the women by
force",
Rupiny now understands as reported by Ray Olweny.
News
coming from the various regions in Pader suggests that the Mobile
UPDF
teams are cutting down banana plants, paw paw stems, mango
trees
together with all kinds of fruit producing trees that the
population
had planted within the homes; their reason is to deny LRA
sources of
food.
Lapul LC3 confirmed to Rupiny the report
implicating the Mobile teams
in the ultimate destruction of food
sources for the population in
their homes in Gulalela village and Koyo
Lalogi under the pretext of
denying the "adui" sources of food, the
sources that must be
destroyed.
Mr. Anywar also said a woman,
who will remain nameless, was raped
repeatedly by many soldiers. He
said the population is noting these
examples of heinous crime the
government soldiers are just beginning
to mete on the
locals.
Not long ago the government ordered everyone to move to a
camp to make
it easy to confront LRA.
Capt. H. U. Mukorogo, who
is the intelligence boss in the 5th
division, told Rupiny that he will
meet with the commander of the UPDF
Mobile teams responsible for food
destruction so that all the soldiers
who participated in these crimes
be arrested. This is necessary
because their actions are "spoiling the
name" of government soldiers.
