Ugandan police on Tuesday evening urged citizens to remain vigilant after a 20-month curfew was lifted in the wake of terrorist attacks that have been witnessed in the country in the past few months.

In a statement, the police said: “We wish to remind all the reopened sectors about the threat of terrorism, posed by individual actors and small groups inspired primarily by ADF (Allied Democratic Forces).  Some of these hangout places are soft targets.  Although we have greatly disrupted some of the real threats posed by these terrorists, they still remain determined on causing harm to  citizens in the country, which calls for extra vigilance as we go about our daily activities.”
