Ugandan rebels kill 2 women near Yambio town raids
By Richard Ruati
October 15, 2009 (YAMBIO) — Ugandan Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) rebels have killed 2 women during last Wednesday raids near Yambio town in Western Equatoria State, an Arrow member have said.
Four hours later the rebels launched a similar assault on the village of Nambia, where the second woman was killed and her body was mutilated by the LRA soldiers.
“They (Arrow Boys) killed three LRA soldiers there, among them a corporal. The LRA had attacked the civilians,” Tambua said.
Tambua added that, “they were with SPLA proper in the attack against LRA bandits.”
He appealed to the Government of Southern Sudan and WES to put an eye on their civilians, as without civilians there will no government.
Combating the small groups of guerrillas – experienced in jungle warfare and able to slip across international frontiers with apparent ease – has become a hard task for the joint military operations.
As purported LRA attacks destroy homes, churches and schools in Western Equatoria, civilians grab their possessions and flee.
A Uganda-led coalition including Congo and South Sudan launched a joint offensive against LRA strongholds in Congo’s isolated Garamba National Park on December 14 after LRA leader Joseph Kony again failed to sign a deal to end his rebellion.
However, despite early bombing raids on the bases and initial claims of success, the offensive has so far failed to locate Kony, a self-styled mystic whose rebels are notorious for kidnapping women and children and forcing children to fight.
Kony is wanted by the International Criminal Court in The Hague for war crimes.
The Lord’s Resistance Army is no longer the Ugandan, Acholi-speaking rebel group it once was. Arabic and other languages are now accepted languages as the group forcibly recruits people from Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo and southern Sudan.

Nhial Deng Nhial the minister of Defense, what are you defending? “Simple logic of military, create more enemies to your enemy, and your enemy will not where to begin” Said Sun Tzu the Ancient Chinese warior. This is what Khartoum is doing. And the SPLM led administration is taking long nap in Juba Rah Hotel. When our batalion, the Bright Star Compaign librated Western Equatoria in 1990, LRA use to compare fighting SPLA to fighting lion with no weapon. What happened Nhial. I’m a SPLM member and veteran of SPLA and a Dinka. You guys are leading us down. Enough is enoug. Southern Sudanese in Western Equatoria have sufferd a lot. If women, children and elderlies continue to suffer like this, what is it that we took up arm for? What is it your father was slaughter like a lamb for? Shame on you! Shame on Salva Kiir. Your leadership is a disgrace to SPLM/A and people of Southern Sudan. I’m sick and tired of LRA.
The Mad General Achinbenchien.

Gives creat went it due mr Ruati.
How dare could you just diminshed the work done by our SPLA forces by giving away their hard fought and give it to the “Arrow boys”. if you think arrow boys are better of than SPLA why do peopel of WES always crying for GOSS hrelp. its absurd by making arrows to be the one kills LRA rather than attributing it to our forces and make SPLA as accompany
as you stated below:
Tambua added that, “they were with SPLA proper in the attack against LRA bandits.”

The killing of our people by these demoniacs from Uganda must stop. SPLA soldiers must be unleashed to deal with this situation. We are getting impatient with this kind of news.

Dear arrow boy
You are the great man we need. You have opened the way for the GOSS to prove that LRA existed in its territory. I am already aware of this issue but the Government ignorant is way way far from active Security for its people.
LRA must be extinguished in Southern Sudan, We will work it out together brother.
Cheers Dr. Chui
