Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Uganda Peoples Defence Force contingent conducting a peacekeeping support mission under the East African Regional Force (UGACON-EACRF) in North Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), have recovered 120 heads of cattle from the suspected Nyatura militiamen<\/p>\n

The Nyatura rebels operate in the areas of Kinyandoni, Bwito, Bwisha, Tongo and Binza in Rutshuru territory in North Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued on Monday, Capt Kato Ahmad Hassan, the EACRF spokesperson, said the successful operation was conducted following timely intelligence and close coordination with the local community of Buhimba village approximately 9 kilometres from Kiwanja Town Council.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rescue team was able to successfully thwart the theft of the animals and recovered the 120 heads of cattle easily with no exchange of gunfire. The cows were handed over to the owner before the excited local community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr David Mujungu, the owner of the animals, confirmed to the UPDF rescue team that the Collective Movement for Change (CMC), Nyantura militia group was behind the theft of his animals.<\/p>\n

\u201cHad the UPDF not responded in time, it would mark the beginning of my poverty and subsequent suffering,\u201d he said, thanking the officers for their quick response.<\/p>\n

He revealed that the militiamen normally abduct people and ask for a ransom for them to be released safely, and if not paid in time, they are killed.<\/p>\n

\u201cUPDF Contingent under East African Community Regional Force will remain resilient, committed, our resolve and determined towards the restoration of peace and stability and to secure people\u2019s lives and property as per the EACRF mandate,\u201d Capt Kato noted.<\/p>\n
