Although the LRA advancement in CAR and DRC has been reported as curtailed, sources at CIM and ISO inform us that the Ugandan army has stayed in the these countries and will continue to stay in DRC and CAN because the LRA threats have not completely been eliminated.

The CIM sources have also told our journalists that the Ugandan soldiers are still deployed in strategic locations in the Republic of South Sudan.

The source did not want to be named because they are not mandated to speak on behalf of the army.

In an earlier interview, the army spokesperson Col. Felix Kulayigye confirmed that the Uganda army is working with the armies of South Sudan, DRC and CAR to eliminate the threat posed by the LRA rebels.
