African
Union troops have formally taken over command of the operation of
tracking down Joseph Kony from Uganda.The AU force is made up of
Uganda, South Sudan and the Central African Republic military forces.
According
to Ugandan Major Alex Ahabyona, an intelligence officer for the Kony
operation, the hand over ceremony took place on Tuesday in the South
Sudanese town of Nzara.
The
African Union force which was announced earlier this year could not
start operations as earlierplanned due to lack of equipment and
troops.
AU
announced in March this year that it was taking over the hunt for
Kony from Ugandan army with 5000 troop.
It
was not clear if the Union was able to meet the 5000 target as at the
time of the hand over. Colonel Dick Olum of Ugandan army will lead
the force.
U.S.
government deployed some 100 troops to East Africa in the effort to
stop Kony and his Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA).
This is a good development. I wish them all the luck. He maust pay for all his evils.
