Ugandan peacekeepers deployed in the Central African Republic have commandeered 30 pieces of Sub Machine guns and twenty seven AK47 empty magazines suspected to have been buried by fleing rebels of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA).“Considering the fact that the rebels are already experiencing scarcity of arms, this is a big achievement and, no doubt, their combat capacity will never be the same.

“The LRA demise is in sight,� the commander of the Ugandan Contingent in Central Africa, Col Michael Kabango said in a statement sent to Kampala Tuesday.

Ugandan soldiers are in the Central African Republic as part of the African Union Regional Task Force that is fighting insurgents in the war-torn country.

The LRA has over the decades buried weapons when under pursuit for easier escape, with a hope to return, at a later date, to recover them.

However, UPDF spokesman Lt. Col Paddy Ankunda said the UPDF has often discovered the arms caches, while sometimes, the LRA rebels have been chased away too far to return for the arms.

The African Union Regional Task Force was formed in 2012 after the African Union declared the LRA insurgency a regional challenge.

The forces have since made some progress against the LRA whose leader Joseph Kony has been in hiding for years despite an indictment for his arrest and prosecution.
