Sixteen suspects allegedly linked to the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) have been arrested in Mityana District in Central Uganda, police have confirmed.
The ADF are a rebel group that was originally based in Uganda but has expanded to eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). In the past few months, the group, branded a terrorist group, has been linked to several attacks in eastern DRC and in Uganda, pushing Kampala and Kinshasa to form a joint operation to flash out the rebels.
