UPDF says rebels regrouping in Sudan

    NAIROBI
    A senior army officer said on Wednesday that rebels of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) and Uganda National Rescue Front II (UNRF II) were reorganising themselves inside southern Sudan, the semi-official 'New Vision' newspaper reported. There were 500 UNRF II rebels receiving military training in the Sudanese town of Rojo near Juba, the officer was quoted as saying at a Gulu peace conference. He said some 2,000 LRA rebels were in Nesitu, also in southern Sudan. "People have to be vigilant because the rebels are not finished," he said.
