By Emmy AllioUNDER pressure from UPDF operations in southern Sudan, Joseph Kony and his Lord’s Resistance Army rebels on Friday massacred at least 60 Sudanese who were in a funeral procession of an elder of the village in Agoro mountains, the army said yesterday.“At least 60 people were shot point-blank after being forced to cut to pieces the corpse they were carrying. Before killing them, Kony rebels surrounded them and ordered them to cook the carcass in sorghum,” army spokesman Major Shaban Bantariza said yesterday.Bantariza said, “The helpless civilians wanted to buy their lives and please Kony by eating the human body. But shortly after being forced to eat at gun point, Kony ordered them killed.”He said Sudanese fleeing from the scene told the UPDF that Kony accused the people in Agoro and Acholi hills of collaborating with the UPDF against him.Ends
