The Uganda People’s Defense Forces has assured Ugandans that there will be no more attacks by Lords Resistance Army rebels in northern Uganda.
This follows weekend reports that the LRA attacked two southern Sudan villages near Yambio town killing one person and abducting an unspecified number of people.
The Spokesperson for the UPDF, Major Felix Kulaiyigye says the army is confident that the LRA can not attack Uganda.
He says the LRA rebels have been severely weakened and are using the attacks on villages to confuse forces that are hunting for the remaining rebels.
Maj. Kulayigye says operations against LRA remnants are continuing in southern Sudan and the eastern DRC Garamba forest where the LRA have been operating in the recent past.
