Army claims successes in campaign against ADF

    NAIROBI
    Minister of State for Defence Steven Kavuma on Tuesday claimed the Uganda People's Defence Forces (UPDF) had dominated the operation against Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) rebels in the west of the country, denying the rebels their bases in the Rwenzori Mountains and eastern DRC. Kavuma said the army had killed over 80 "bandits" and captured 64 in its ongoing operation against the ADF in Bundibugyo, Kabarole and Kasese districts, Radio Uganda reported. The UPDF campaign had also "depleted the enemy's strength both in terms of personnel and equipment captured," it quoted Kavuma as saying.
