Two notorious commanders of the Allied Democratic Forces rebel group known as 'Baghdad' and another identified as Dr Musa have been killed in the last five days.
This was in an operation by the joint Uganda Peoples' Defence Forces/Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo in the ongoing Operation Shujaa.
Security sources told this publication that UPDF's mobile squad operating together with FARDC troops, killed both ADF commanders around Mugulu Mugulu in Irumu territory in Easter DRC.
A number of military hardware including one sub-machine gun with two magazines, 31 rounds of ammunition, one grenade and one military radio (walkie-talkie) were recovered during the operation.
The joint forces continue to hunt and mount pressure on the remnants of the ADF that split into small groups to evade the UPDF/FARDC's consistent and constant attacks.
