Army claims successes against ADF rebels

    NAIROBI

    The Ugandan army has claimed to have seized the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) rebels' command base at Kiribata and training centre at Buhira, in eastern DRC, in a new offensive in which at least 2,000 soldiers have been freshly deployed in the Ruwenzori mountains, according to a report in the 'New Vision' newspaper on Saturday. UPDF Divisional Commander Benon Biraro has replied to an ADF request for peace talks to end the four-year rebellion, demanding that they name their proposed mediators, but has vowed to continue the army's operation in the Ruwenzoris "until the date for negotiations is fixed", the report added.
