ABOUT 200 Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) rebels are stranded in the eastern DR Congo eastern region of Butalinga after UN peace-keeping force (MONUC) gave them an ultimatum to surrender or be forcefully disarmed.
Sources in Bundibugyo district recently said 230 ADF remnants, including women and children, were stranded in Kaghema forest, three kilometres from the Ugandan border.( Which sources? This is nothing other then another NRM propaganda)
The rebels reportedly refused to disarm, preferring relocation to an undisclosed location inside Uganda.
Bundibugyo LC5 chairperson, Jackson Bambalira, said some heavily-armed rebels were recently sighted in Rusonga forest, Busaru sub-county. ( how about creating some IDP camps in Yoweri Museveni's back yard?...say in Mbarara, Busenyi, NTUGAMU, Kabale ?...then perhaps only then will the NRM dictatorship begin to appreciate the suffering people are going through in the IDP camps of Northern and Eastern Uganda)
