Kambi Ya Yua, a stronghold of ADF/ISCAP terrorists, seating on eight acres of Virunga forest land, is estimated to have accommodated over 600 ADF/ISCAP terrorists and their families.

The structures in the camp were well built with locally made fences; with many cleared under tree shades as seating areas, suggesting that it was likely to be a Command Post of a high ranking rebel leaders.

UPDF engineers are working around the clock searching for possible improvised explosives, bunkers and to acquire more clues about the terrorists.

Lt Col Mbayo Katuta, the FARDC Assault Brigade Commander, who is commanding the ground forces in the jungles of Virunga forest said “We want to put ADF and other bandits on tenterhooks, with no breathing space, always on the run, block their supply chains. They will die of hunger in the forest. Soon you will see many surrendering when the situation gets unbearable.”

Col James Kasule, the UPDF 111 Mountain Brigade Commander said capturing this camp is a big mile stone because the enemy was using this same camp to launch terror attacks against both Ugandans and Congolese.
