AS residents of the Rwenzori region try to put the ADF horrors behind them, the National Political Commissar, Dr. Crispus Kiyonga, says there are people trying to team up with the Allied Democratic Forces rebels to attack the country again.

He named some of the new rebels as Major Patrick Muhindo, Fenehasi Kisokeranio, Boniface Kinyambira and Abdallah Yusuf Kabanda.

Kiyonga was addressing a Christmas service held at Bwera, his home area, near the Uganda-DR Congo border, where he said the DRC-based rebels were bent on causing trouble for Uganda. Kiyonga urged the people to remain security-conscious.

Kinyambira was Dr. Kizza Besigye’s campaign chairman in Kasese district while Maj. Muhindo, a former district reserve force commander, fled the country following allegations that he participated in the March 17, 2001, arson attack in which 11 people died and 52 houses were burnt-down in Kasese town.
