A Ugandan and two foreign tourists were killed in an attack by suspected rebels in a national park.
A Ugandan national and two foreign tourists were killed in an attack by suspected rebels from the Allied Democratic Forces in a national park, the police said on Tuesday.
The ADF began as an uprising in Uganda but has been based in the Democratic Republic of Congo since the late 1990s. It pledged allegiance to Islamic State in mid-2019 and is accused of killing thousands of villagers in frequent raids over the past decade. Rebels from ADF have previously carried out attacks in the area and across the border in Congo, where they have bases.
In September, Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni said an airstrike had killed a senior ADF commander, Meddie Nkalubo, accused of being a mastermind of suicide bombings in Kampala in 2021 that left seven people dead.
