UPDF Commandos Strike LRA Camps in Central African Republic

The Ugandan People's Defence Force (UPDF) commandos, in collaboration with South Sudan People's Defence Forces (SSPDF) and Central African Republic (CAR) security forces, launched an early morning raid on three camps belonging to the notorious Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) in the Central African Republic.

According to information obtained by this publication, the operation, which took place east of Sam Ouandja, resulted in the total destruction of the camps and the capture of significant equipment.

The LRA, led by Joseph Kony, has been responsible for widespread human rights abuses, including massacres, abductions, and forced conscription of child soldiers.

A source familiar with the operation told this website that the UPDF's action is a major blow to the LRA's operational capabilities and a significant step towards the total defeat of the LRA and Kony.

When contacted, the UPDF spokesperson, Brig Gen Felix Kulayigye confirmed the operation, affirming: "that’s what it is, confirmed.” 

While the details of the operation remain scanty, sources suggest that the commandos employed advanced tactics and technology to catch the LRA off guard.
