Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Uganda will pull troops from the neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo in two weeks, UPDF Commander of Land Forces, Lt. Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has said.<\/p>\n

The Uganda People\u2019s Defence Forces (UPDF) in November last year launched air, artillery and ground attacks against the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) rebels in eastern DR Congo in a retaliatory move on the Islamist militants for, among others, lauching terror attacks on Uganda.<\/p>\n

Operation Shujaa is under the command of Maj Gen Kayanja Muhanga. The UPDF contingent comprises artillery, armoured, infantry and Special Forces.<\/p>\n

\u201cOperation Shujaa will officially cease in about two weeks according to our original agreement. It was supposed to last for 6 months. Unless I get further instructions from our Commander in Chief or CDF, I will withdraw all our troops from DRC in two weeks,\u201d Lt. Gen Kainerugaba tweeted on Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The UPDF and their DR Congo counterparts attacked ADF camps in Tondoli, Beni and Yayuwa, among others.<\/p>\n

The joint operation was reportedly scheduled to run for about six months.<\/p>\n
