Central Africa: Ex-Seleka rebel group claim to have captured a leader of LRA
CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC
The Popular Front for the Central African Renaissance (PRGF), a faction of the former rebels of the Seleka, said they have captured and handed over to US forces a leader of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) also known as the "Commander Sam" .
"Our members captured the Commander Sam, last weekend in the town of Mbangana in the northeast,"PRGF,Commander Mahamat Déa said in a telephone interview.
"We wanted the Central African authorities, the United Nations, to be present before we hand him over. But due to a communication problem that our men encountered we hastily handed him over to US forces," whose detachment is based in Obo, a town in the far east of the Central African Republic, he added.
The arrest, is yet to be officially confirmed.
The ex-Seleka in January 2015 claimed they arrested Dominic Ongwen, former Ugandan warlord of the LRA, who appeared last January 21 at the International Criminal Court (ICC) to answer charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
