ADF attack on Kasese school was cowardly – President Museveni

Must read

President Yoweri Museveni has condoled with families of those who lost their children after a terror attack on Nyabugaando Peter Hunter Secondary School in Kasese district.
The President also said that the attack on innocent students was an act of desperation and cowardly which will not save the terrorists.
“Condolences on the death of the 37 students of Nyabugaando Peter Hunter Secondary School at the hands of the terrorists of ADF, possibly working with other criminals because I hear that school had some wrangles about it. I extend condolences to the families and the whole country,” Museveni condoled.
This  new  atrocity  by  the  elements  of  the  ADF  is  criminal, desperate, terrorist and futile. Since Operation Shujja started, the Congo Army and Ugandan Army have put a lot of pressure on ADF who had turned that area into their territory for almost 20 years. We have inflicted so much damage on these criminals.
Before Operation Shujja, the whole area West and South of the Rwenzori Mountain, on the Congo side, was controlled by ADF, more or less, in spite of some camps of the Pro-Government Armies (Congo, UN and SADDEC). They were mining in the area, harvesting People’s cocoa and selling it as their own, collecting taxes, etc.
“In their ignorance, they also thought that the forests in the area were a protection for them. However, with modern technology, Government Armies, by day and by night, can see them from above wherever they may try to hide and the more remote the forest, the better. With eyes in the sky, day and night, we  would then deliver long-range artillery  fire  on  the  unsuspecting  terrorists  or  attack  them  with high speed fighter bombers from Entebbe. It was devastating,” Museveni said.
However, Museveni cautioned the CDF to get some of his staff to inform of the damage done to the terrorists since the operation started. As a consequence of the eyes in the sky and long-distance deadly fire,  followed  by  infantry  troops  on  the  ground,  two  things  have happened.
In  the  huge  area  West  of  the  Rwenzori,  the  terrorists have  runaway  to  beyond  the  Beni-Eringeti-Komanda-Bunya Road; and the terrorists can no longer concentrate in big groups. It is safer for them to splinter into small groups which, they hope, may not be seen by our eyes. That is how their desperate, futile, criminal and terrorist schemes come in.  They  start  imagining  that  if  they  flee  Congo,  re-enter Uganda, kill People that are not armed (soft targets), that action would force us to recall our Army from Congo to defend the Uganda villages  and  that  would  save  them  from  the  losses  they  are  now suffering. That is what they tried on the 13th of December, 2022, when 51 of them entered Ntoroko with the same plan as the one of Nyabugaando yester-night-kill People etc,” he revealed.
Since the Army and the People in that area were alert, 26 of them were killed, 25 were captured, 2 light machine guns, 7 IEDs were also  captured  and,  among  the  captured,  there  was  their  leader, Ekyakute, a Musoga by tribe.  The UPDF had, initially, concentrated on the bigger groups, west of the Rwenzori.
After defeating the bigger groups, recently, they started   hunting   the smaller   group,   South   of   the   Rwenzori Mountain, South of the Kasindi-Beni Road, in the Mwalika Valley, around Biruunga National Park inCongo, Opposite Lake Edward (Rutshuru,  Butuumbi). 1½ months ago, Mulaalo,  Commander  of that group was killed.  Earlier in April, Rubaanga, quartermaster of one of the  groups,  was  also  killed.
“Their desperate, cowardly, terrorist act of attacking a school? Why not attack the detachment that was only 3 kms away?  If they did that, they would be fighters –Army to Army -the way NRA was and they would not be terrorists.    Their criminal and cowardly scheme would not, however, have succeeded if our People around Mpondwe were alert like the People of Ntoroko were when ADF came to that area last December 2022.Especially now that the Congo Government allowed us to operate on the Congo side also; we have no excuse in not hunting down the ADF terrorists into extinction,” he said.
Museveni further urged the military officials to ensure that their eyes are in the sky and  the  other  gadgets  are  working  all  the  time,  to ensure  nobody steals fuel on which they (the machines) depend and all the other linkages.
“We are now sending more troops into the area south of the Rwenzori Mountain and eliminating the obvious gaps.  Was an alarm sounded and by whom?  How were the nearby Security People,” Museveni said. Adding, “Their action, the desperate, cowardly, terrorist action, therefore, will not save them.  We are bringing new forces to the Uganda side as we continue the hunting on the Congo side.”
