UPDF Proposes Creation of Local Defense Forces to Secure Areas Liberated from the ADF

Watch the video:


The new commander of Ugandan troops operating jointly with the FARDC, Major General Stéven Mugerwa, has proposed the establishment of Local Defense Forces to strengthen security in areas affected by the ADF.


"I have asked the governor to inform his superiors to create Local Defense Forces to counter the ADF's maneuvers, which bypass our positions and then attack the population after the strikes," he said.


This approach aims to ensure continued community protection while the army continues its hunt for rebels. This system had already proven its worth in Uganda, during the fight against Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a group just as brutal as the ADF.
