15 07 13 Associated Press: 60,000 Congolese flee to Uganda after rebel attack

 

 

Catherine
Ntabadde of the Uganda Red Cross said Sunday that her organization had already
registered 41,000 refugees and that 20,000 more are yet to be registered.

The refugee
influx continues three days after a Ugandan-led rebel group attacked the
Kamango town and killed some people on Thursday, according to Ugandan military
officials.

That group
the Allied Democratic Forces had been hibernating in the jungles of eastern Congo for years since a military assault
ousted it from Ugandan territory. It was formed in the early 1990s by Ugandan
Muslims who want to install Shariah law in Uganda and who staged deadly
terrorist attacks in the 1990s.
