At least eight rebel fighters of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) have been killed in an offensive by the African Union in the past week, according to reports.
Col. Gabriel Ayor, the commander of the AU taskforce based in Yambio in Western Equatorial State, South Sudan, says AU forces attacked rebel bases in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Central African Republic.
“We captured some documents from their camps showing that they were heading towards the south,” Col. Ayor told the United Nations-sponsored Radio Miraya, on Tuesday.
He said AU soldiers found numerous simsim, ground nuts and maize gardens in about eight rebel camps in DR Congo.
