A senior commander of a Ugandan rebel group has been killed in Central African Republic, a Ugandan military spokesman has said.
Brigadier Bok Abudema of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) was killed in the town of Djema on Friday amid an ongoing operation by Ugandan forces across several countries in the region against the group.
“This was a New Year’s gift to Uganda,” Lieutenant Colonel Felix Kulayige, Uganda’s defence and army spokesman, said on Saturday.
