@FredEnanga1 "Last night, we registered a terrorist attack by the ADF rebels, on Lhubirira secondary school, in Mpondwe, that is located about 2 kms, from the DRC border. A dormitory was burnt and a food store looted. So far 25 bodies have been recovered from the school and transferred to Bwera Hospital. Also recovered are 8 victims, who remain in critical condition at Bwera Hospital.

A hot pursuit by the UPDF and the police is ongoing, towards Virunga national park. We do offer our deepest condolences to the families of those who have been killed, and offer our prayers and thoughts to those who have been wounded. More details will be availed in due course.

The death toll from the Friday night ADF rebels attack on a secondary school in western Uganda has risen to 42, @newvisionwire reports.

22 students were killed during the attack, 17 others died after a bomb detonated, 2 residents and 1 security guard also died in the attack.

Horrified and deeply saddened by the attack on children at Lhubirira secondary school in Mpondwe. My thoughts are with the victims, their families and the people of Kasese.

Horrifying reports of the school shooting in Uganda. An attack on civilians, specifically students, is appalling. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families. Where possible, the Netherlands is ready to assist.

Zonefree:
Cowards!

Why attack innocent and helpless children



God rest the souls of the departed.
