{Ugandan Army said that nineteen fighters from Uganda’s Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) have surrendered following an offensive against the rebel group in the Central African Republic (CAR).}
Six children were among those who gave themselves up, the army said.
The LRA was forced out of Uganda in 2005 and since then has wreaked havoc in CAR and other neighbouring states.
The group says its mission is to install a government in Uganda based on the Biblical Ten Commandments.
It is notorious for abducting children to serve as sex slaves and child soldiers.
The US has listed it as a terrorist group and has offered up to $5m (£3.3m) for leads resulting in the arrest of its leader, Joseph Kony.
