We are told that a group of about 17 US commandos from the CIA and FBI have been sent to Uganda to boost UPDF’s ability in using satellite imaging to track down the movements of the reminants of LRA rebels who are led by Joseph Kony.

The first contingent of US commandos was sent to Uganda to do the same in October and the latest arrived on December 4.

The US commandos are expected to help UPFD and other armies in the Great Lakes region to track down Kony and his rebels.

The LRA leaders including Kony are needed by the international criminal court over abuse of human rights and displacing thousands of people in northern Uganda from their houses. A source in the government which gave us this tip declined to tell when the commandos would get back to US or about when the regional army with the help of America will capture Kony.

Uganda is planning to start police courts to check on the growing rate of domestic violence in Buganda Kingdom and across the country in general.

The courts will handle mostly rape, defilement, murder and attempted murder cases among married persons. The police courts are coming into force soon after Uganda’s president, General Museveni advised the inspector general of police, Maj. Gen. Kale Kayihura to start them.

Museveni promised police courts when he was recently addressing heads of states at the international conference on Great Lakes Region. The meeting took place in Kampala and Museveni asked other African states to start police courts. However other people allege that the government wants to use these courts to torture opposition supporters.
