Ugandan forces were on Monday shoring up supply routes into neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo where its army has set up an advance base to track down ADF rebels blamed for deadly attacks in Kampala. 

Just before the entrance to Virunga Park in the east of the DRC, rows of army tents sprang up in the village of Mukakati.
