UPDF soldiers have discovered a mass grave at the encampment of islamist militants, Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) at Lisulubi, south of Busunga border post along Semuliki Bridge road, in Kasindi-Beni area, east of Democratic Republic of Congo.

“We have located one mass grave of 100-150 dead terrorists so far,” said a high ranking defence official on Monday afternoon.

The discovery comes after heavy bombardment and capture of Camp Lisulubi, which officials say is the largest ADF camp in Sector III less than 10kms from Uganda’s Bundibugyo district.

Officials said the army seized guns, uniforms, solar panels, food, medicine and stores of mivumba (second hand clothes) from the camp.

Access to the battlefield remains heavily restricted for journalists to verify information from defence officials.

But reliable sources said Ugandan troops were assessing the impact of the aerial and long-range artillery shelling on camp Lisulubi and would soon share pictorial evidence of the mass grave.

This is not the first time UPDF and Congolese soldiers have unearthed mass graves in ADF-held territory.

Earlier this year, the joint forces found mass graves of at least 500 dead bodies of ADF fighters near Kambi Ya Yua.

The army estimates that over 1,500 ADF fighters have been killed since Operation Shujaa started in December 2021.

The allied forces killed 200-300 fighters at Belu III on February 8 at the beginning of the Phase II of Operation Shujaa.

Initially meant to last six months, Operation Shujaa was extended on June 1.

Both countries signed agreements to prolong their joint military operations into a third phase until the threat was “eradicated”.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent. It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu". We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service. If you have not been denied registering your child i...

Parliament Urges Government to Provide Shs 4 Billion to Media Houses to Run Awareness Campaign on Tourism in Uganda.

Parliament also urged Gov’t to provide additional Shs4Bn to UTB to engage international and national media houses in production of positive media stories for improved destination image, following reports of drop in number of tourists from US, Europe and China visiting Uganda. "The National Development Plan targeted to cumulatively attract 281,760 International Tourist arrivals from US, Europe & China but only 67,252 arrivals were registered by the end of the first half of FY 2023/24. The U.S, Europe & China were key target source for leisure tourist who stay longer than business tourists. However, statistics show that international arrivals from the aforementioned areas have continue to drop. The UTB requires Shs4Bn to engage international & national media houses in production of positive tourism stories to improve destination perception in light of recent controversies that shade the destination in a bad light. However, this has remained unfunded,” said La...
