90 captives
LIRA — At least 90 former Lord’s Resistance Army rebel captives were handed over to two rehabilitation centres at Lira Army barracks on Monday. UPDF 5th division public relations officer 2nd Lt. Chris Magezi said it was the army’s responsibilities to create avenues for the rebel captives to escape whenever they engage the LRA in battle.

KITGUM — Education state minister of sports Henry Oryem has donated four computers worth sh2.6m to Kitgum High School. The head-teacher, Michael Ocan, recently said the donation comes after the school made a request to the minister. Ocan said Oryem had also lobbied the German embassy to build a solar power system for the school.
Ogwal urges
