President Museveni has said that Uganda airforce on Friday destroyed camps belonging to Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) rebels.
“Ugandans and fellow East Africans. This is to inform you that on Friday 4/11/2022, with the permission of the DRC Government, the Uganda Airforce, attacked and destroyed a big terrorist camp of ADF,” he said in a statement on Sunday.
“I am becoming a tweeter on this occasion because it is important for the Africans and East Africans to know the capacity Africa possesses that can help it to solve these chronic security problems.”
He said this location is beyond the limit of exploitation that we had agreed with the Congo Government that runs the Beni−Mbau junction−Eoingeti−Komanda−Kasindi−Beni.
“Within the area that we have been allowed to operate, we have destroyed all the camps the reconnaissance has identified, killed a lot of terrorists, captured others and emancipated the much-terrorized wanainchi of the area.”
In all this, Museveni said, the Ugandan army worked with the brother Congolese Army, the FARDC.
According to the president, the enemy, in desperation, has now fled beyond the limit of exploitation (the boundary of UPDF operations).

“The ignorant terrorists do not know that within just minutes-not hours- we can reach with deadly fire, many areas, far beyond the line of the limit of exploitation. Hence, on Friday, they got their deserved reward,” he noted.
He added: “Wherever they go, we shall reach them as long as the Congo Government allows us to operate with them. Congratulations to the UPDF and congratulations to the Government of DRC and the Army of Congo.”
