The Ugandan army is battling rebels of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) in western Uganda, according to army spokesman Major Pheneas Katirima. “We got intelligence reports that Rogers Kabanda, one of the ADF leaders, was hiding at a place called Rugesi near Mwtaga on the Congo side,“ he said “We attacked the camp by shelling until dusk and continued hitting them the next day, and dislodged them.” He claimed five rebels were killed. He said the rebels had attacked a displaced people’s camp, “but have not managed to cause general insecurity in the area”.
