Fear is growing amongst communities in central Africa as attacks by the Christian terrorists of the Lord’s Resistance Army increase:

“A familiar foe has ramped up its activities in central Africa. Raids by the notorious Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) are becoming more frequent….

…it was the Ugandan army that the LRA leadership began fighting two decades ago – although the rebels have long since shifted northwards.

Moving in small groups, the machete-wielding rebels now menace a wide region across southern Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Central African Republic, dragging in recruits from several nations…..

…Ugandan forces led a joint offensive alongside Congolese and southern Sudanese troops against LRA bases last December, triggering a wave of rebel attacks as the fighters scattered.

The fighters were then relatively quiet for several months, and it is not clear why attacks have escalated once again.

Some military sources suggest rebel chief Joseph Kony, a man wanted by the International Criminal Court, is shifting bases towards the CAR and has ordered rearguard units to launch attacks to tie down military units.

No-one, however, knows for sure. There has been no credible contact with the leadership for months.” {Source: BBC News}
