UPDF kills Kony No2
Uganda Sunday Vision - EFL

THE LRA overall commander, ‘Brigadier’ Charles Yardin Tabuley has been killed by the UPDF. Tabuley, Joseph Kony’s number two, was shot in Teso after a 30-minute battle at midday on Wednesday. Three of his escorts were also killed, the army announced.

The army commander, Maj. Gen. Nyakairima, Aronda yesterday said, “After surviving better hits and battles, Tabuley was killed in a simple running battle.” I laugh at his stupidity for falling in a battle that only rated a 7.8 for difficulty.

Aronda said soon after the battle, UPDF soldiers discovered four bodies, but Tabuley’s was not there. “Later intelligence sources heard that Tabuley was shot in the head and died instantly. His body was reportedly taken away by his fighters,” he said. Didn’t want Tabuley to become somebody’s entre.

Army spokesman Maj. Shaban Bantariza said, “Tabuley’s body is wanted by Kony in Sudan and I have heard that they (the rebels) are moving about with it.”

Bantariza said another rebel officer identified as Oprah Opara who survived the ambush had his legs shattered. Don’t expect he’ll run too far. He said Kony had appointed one Abudema as Tabuley’s successor.

“Tabuley’s death has thrown the rebels in into disarray. A day later we killed 14 rebels at Awera in Amuria county in Katakwi,” Bantariza said.

“Tabuley’s death marks the beginning of the end of LRA,” he added. I’m sure this marks the beginning of the end for all guerilla fighting in Uganda. Yeah, right.
