Army investigating ADF weapons replenishment

    NAIROBI
    The Ugandan army was investigating the source of new weaponry that has spurred 14 ADF attacks in Bundibugyo, Kabarole and Kasese districts since the 9 December raid on Katojo Prison near Fort Portal, news organisations reported. Humanitarian sources have said that while the rebels had previously used mostly machetes and knives, all now used guns. In the past, Uganda has accused Sudan of supplying rebel movements but on 8 December the two countries signed a reconciliation accord in which they agreed not to support each others’ rebel movements.
