Hundreds more displaced by ADF rebels

    NAIROBI
    Meanwhile, rebels of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) reportedly forced out from their homes some 600 people in the Bulegeya, Bujabara, Buhondo and Rubona areas of Kabarole in western Uganda following a series of attacks, the independent 'Monitor' newspaper said on Friday. Humanitarian sources confirmed to IRIN on Monday that there had been "small displacements" in the area but they could not confirm the number of people affected. The displaced were staying with relatives, the sources added. About two weeks ago, some 600 people were reported to have fled their homes in the nearby Fort Portal area following similar ADF attacks, according to local media.
