Uganda is facing a resurgent threat from the terror gang Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), more than a year after it launched a joint operation to pursue the group in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
Indeed, recently, ADF rebels attempted to cross into Uganda from DRC, forcing security agencies to admit that the country now faces the threat on three fronts. This showed that the militants have regrouped inside the country and plan attacks using explosives. Also, raids on villages and police stations have resulted in the death of civilians and several officers as well as the loss of 16 guns.
