Uganda and its neighbour the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) on Tuesday launched a joint aerial operation against the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), the terror group blamed for massacres in both countries.
Both countries’ spokespeople indicated the aerial offensive will target the group’s hide-outs in eastern DR Congo provinces of Ituri and North Kivu where there have been recent killings blamed on the rebels.
