Ugandan says kills 60 gunmen
Uganda’s army said on Monday it had killed more than 60 gunmen who attacked police and army posts in the west on Saturday, while extra troops had been deployed to restore security in an area near the country’s new oil fields.
The gunmen had killed 17 people, including police and soldiers, on Saturday evening when they attacked three police stations and a military barracks in western Uganda, an area once a focus for an Islamist insurgency.
“Since we launched our response we have now killed more than 60 of those attackers and we’re continuing the hunt,” Ninsiima Rwemijuma, spokesman for Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) told Reuters. The army said on Sunday it had killed 41.
The ADF-NALU Islamist insurgents fought the Ugandan government in the late 1990s and early 2000s from bases in Western Uganda along the border with Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
They were eventually defeated and forced to flee into the jungles of eastern DRC where they have been hiding.
