Ugandan Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) rebels killed at least 44 people on Thursday in a dawn raid on a camp for people fleeing fighting in the north of the country, a priest in the area said. Catholic priest Sebat Ayala said more than 300 rebels overpowered government troops guarding the camp in one of their bloodiest attacks for months, before they were repulsed by army reinforcements. The army said at least 20 people were confirmed killed in the attack on the camp, which lies more than 300 km (180 miles) north of Uganda’s capital Kampala. The attack happened less than a week after the Hague-based International Criminal Court’s (ICC) chief prosecutor said the ICC should open its first case within months against the rebels. Full Story
