Ugandan and Democratic Republic of Congo forces have announced an early success against the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) and said they will change strategy to defeat the proscribed group.
Ten days after the controversial joint operation, and the Armed forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) and the Ugandan People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) say they have destroyed four enemy camps inside the DRC and captured 34 fighters associated with the ADF. A statement issued on Monday also stated that 31 Congolese hostages had been freed, suggesting the ADF were also using civilians as shields against the aerial and ground raids.
