Bomb Materials, Solar Panels Found at Captured ADF Headquarters
Dec 27, 2021Read original
Ugandan and Congolese forces have recovered arms and bomb-making materials from the main headquarters of terrorist group, Allied Democratic Forces (ADF).

Uganda’s Defence Ministry on Christmas Day announced that UPDF mobile forces together with the FARDC assault force, had “finally captured the much revered ADF/ISCAP camp, Kambi Ya Yua” on the morning of December 24.

“This camp was a host to military training and Islamic radicalization activities as evidenced by the literature found, bomb making materials and one damaged Laptop computer,” said the Defence Ministry.

Other pieces of evidence obtained by the allied forces include 129 live rounds of PK machine gun loaded in their chain, 155 live rounds of Sub-machine gun ammunition, 3 solar panels and enemy strength registers.

Kambi Ya Yua, a stronghold of ADF/ISCAP terrorists, seating on eight acres of Virunga forest land, is estimated to have accommodated over 600 ADF/ISCAP terrorists and their families.

Defence officials said the camp was captured with limited enemy resistance and there was no effect on the joint forces.

The area is located deep in the jungles of Ituri, North Kivu, eastern DRC.
Star source tv recently reported that the joint forces took over 48 hours to reach the ADF encampments.
“It took us a two-day trek through impenetrable jungle vegetation to reach it,” said a Defence official last week.

The Defence Ministry said the structures in Kambi Ya Yua camp were “well built with locally made fences; with many cleared under tree shades as seating areas, suggesting that it was likely to be a Command Post of a high ranking rebel leader.”

UPDF engineers are working around the clock searching for possible improvised explosives, bunkers and to acquire more clues about the terrorists.

Lt Col Mbayo Katuta, the FARDC Assault Brigade Commander, who is commanding the ground forces in the jungles of Virunga forest, said “We want to put ADF and other bandits on tenterhooks, with no breathing space, always on the run, block their supply chains. They will die of hunger in the forest. Soon you will see many surrendering when the situation gets unbearable.”

Col James Kasule, the UPDF 111 Mountain Brigade Commander said capturing this camp was a “big mile stone because the enemy was using this same camp to launch terror attacks against both Ugandans and Congolese.”

The joint operations for the eradication of Allied Democratic Forces/Madinat Tawaheed Mujahideen/Islamic State in Central African province, started three weeks ago when the combined UPDF Air Force and artillery shelled Kambi Ya Yua, Tondoli, Belu1 and Belu2 which are found in North Kivu province in Virunga and Ituri impenetrable forests of Eastern DRC.

REVEALED: Army Exposes Evil Plan by Uganda’s Enemies to Kill Congolese Nationals and Blame UPDF

President Museveni in army uniform The UPDF and the Congolese national army, FARDC, have claimed that there are “sinister plans to discredit Operation Shujaa,’ an offensive against Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), the Central African branch of Islamic State (IS) blamed for last year’s bomb attacks in Uganda. In a joint statement by UPDF and Defence Ministry Spokesperson Brig Gen Flavia Byekwaso and her counterpart Leon-Richard Cibangu Kasonga of FARDC on January 10, both Kampala and Kinshansa agree that there could be plans by some groups to harm the public and blame such acts on the Ugandan army. “The FADRC and the UPDF wish to alert the public that they have critical information about the existence, in the region in which they lead military operations, of an armed group harbouring sinister clandestine plans deliberately intended to sabotage the joint military action against the ADF active in the East of DRC and discredit operation SHUJAA,” said Byekwaso and Kasonga in a jo...
