Museveni in Bundibugyo

    NAIROBI
    Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni is visiting the western town of Bundibugyo which has recently suffered an increase in attacks by the rebel Allied Democratic Forces (ADF). Presidential Press Secretary Hope Kivengere told IRIN on Tuesday that although she did not yet have details of the visit, “the president is in the area to consult and meet army officers”. On Saturday, some 24 people were killed and about 15 others injured after ADF rebels attacked the Kirindi camp for displaced people. This followed a raid on another camp last week in which 10 people were killed.
