Matek,
"What an outrageous ridiculous statement. This so called Rebel behavior is in sic with the UPDF's Modus Operandi."
Good to point this out. Note also that the reporter is a new vision reporter, the govt. mouthpiece. And he wrote, as you correctly quoted:
"The rebels, in a letter dropped during their massacre at Pabbo IDP camp in Gulu, said they were showing their power by killing civilians."
Can this reporter tell us how many people were killed, or, could someone forward the news story about this massacre at Pabbo IDP to us please?
It is hard to believe the so called rebel would want to show "their power by killing civilians.", and yet, in a place like Pabbo IDP when civilians are spread out all over the north. Why would the rebel walk all the way from their bases in Sudan, passing civilian settlements along, only to kill those in Pabbo IDP supposedly to show "their power"?
I therefore tend to concur with you thus "What an outrageous ridiculous statement. This so called Rebel behavior is in sic with the UPDF's Modus Operandi."

Rebels Kill 3 in Gulu IDP Camp![]()

REBELS of the Lord's resistance Army (LRA) have again struck Anaka Internally Displaced Persons' (IDP) camp in Nwoya county, about 35 miles (56km) west of Gulu, killing three people including a UPDF soldier.
Dennis Ojwee reports that they also set ablaze over 380 grass-thatched huts.
The rebels reportedly looted foodstuffs from the camp and forced the captives to carry the loot to their hideouts in the bushes.
Local sources said the rebels, whose number could not easily be determined, struck the camp from its western side, the same direction they used when they attacked the catholic mission late last year.
Details of the attack were still scanty by press time due to the poor communication network between Anaka and Gulu town. Anaka hosts over 25,000 internally displaced persons from various villages within Anaka sub-county. Others are from Purongo in Nwoya county.
The army spokesman based in northern Uganda, Lt. Paddy Ankunda, yesterday said three people, including a UPDF soldier, were killed. He said the rebels burnt down at least 382 grass-thatched huts, looted foodstuffs and abducted several civilians.
The rebels, in a letter dropped during their massacre at Pabbo IDP camp in Gulu, said they were showing their power by killing civilians.
