Rebels continue attacks in the Rwenzori region

Meanwhile, eight civilians were killed by rebels at a displaced people’s camp in Masaka, forcing residents to flee to Nyahuka in Bundibugyo district, the OCHA report said. Rebels of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) have increased their attacks in response to recent Ugandan army successes in locating rebel camps in the mountains. The report said scattered ADF attacks were continuing in Kisomoro sub-country of Kabarole district, as well as Kasese. It noted that the displaced population in Bundibugyo remained relatively constant. Displaced people were moving frequently to alternate sites in response to new security incidents or in order to increase access to cultivable land.
