| 2008-07-02 |
| An attack in Southern Sudan initially blamed on the rebel Lords Resistance Army was done by the Ugandan military, according to investigators. "This was alleged to be the LRA," Dr Riek Machar, Vice President of the Government of Southern Sudan told the southern Sudan Parliament Monday. "I sent the committee to go and investigate it. The rest of the evidence is there. Indeed, it didn't turn out to be the LRA, but they were UPDF." According to documents presented in Parliament, the Ceasefire Monitoring Team conducted a verification of the alleged LRA activities in area on June 19. According to the report, an armed group of about 30 men raided a homestead with 5 houses at Nyongwa Village, close to the Sudan border with Uganda. |
