Around 200 ADF (Allied Democratic Forces) rebels were killed in September by Ugandan army airstrikes, according to a statement by President Yoweri Museveni.
Faced with the rise of rebel groups in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Uganda, signatory to a military cooperation agreement with Kinshasa, has intensified its air operations in the region. According to President Yoweri Museveni, who took stock this Wednesday, December 13, 2023, at least 200 ADF fighters were eliminated during strikes carried out by the Ugandan army.
The Allied Democratic Forces are a Ugandan armed group founded in 1995, bringing together opposition movements to President Yoweri Museveni. After moving to the Democratic Republic of Congo, this rebel organization, financed mainly by ransoms from hostage-taking and smuggling, is accused of multiple abuses in the east of the DRC. The situation remains worrying, with a considerable number of people displaced due to the activities of rebel groups in the region.
