We are told that hundreds of refugees are flocking into Uganda from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) following heavy fighting there since last Friday. Sources in DRC also tell us that some DRC soldiers threw their guns to the rebels and ran away for their dear lives.

One of the groups giving Joseph Kabila’s soldiers sleepless nights is called the Mai Mai rebels. The Mai Mai fighters attacked the Congolese towns of Lubiriha and Kasindi last Thursday night and the fighting has gone on till now.

Reports from DRC indicate that the Mai Mai rebels who attacked the border towns of Lubiriha and Kasindi have a bigger supporter in eastern DR Congo.
