President Yoweri Museveni has spoken about the attack on Tuesday evening, where two tourists and their guide were attacked and killed by suspected Allied Defense Forces (ADF) terrorists.

The victims were a UK citizen, a South African, and their Ugandan guide, all travelling with Gorillas and Wildlife Safaris.Museveni’s statement revealed that the attack occurred around 6 pm on the Katwe-Kabatooro Road. He mentions that the two foreign tourists who lost their lives were a newlywed couple.

He condemned the terrorists’ actions, calling it a cowardly act to harm innocent civilians, especially tragic for the honeymooning couple. He assured that the Ugandan High Commission in the UK would reach out to the victims’ families to provide necessary support during this tragic situation.

“It was a cowardly act on the part of the terrorists attacking innocent civilians and tragic for the couple who were newlyweds and visiting Uganda on their honeymoon. Of course, these terrorists will pay with their own wretched lives. However, killing these wretched individuals will not bring back the lives of these wonderful friends of Uganda who had chosen our country for their honeymoon out of the 193 Countries of the world. Our High Commission in the UK will reach out to their families and provide whatever support is necessary in this tragic situation.” Museveni Said

The President has vowed that these terrorists will face severe consequences for their actions explainingthat the act was committed by a small group of terrorists who were escaping from the Uganda People’s Defense Forces (UPDF) operations in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

He, however, called upon the UPDF, the Police, the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA), and the intelligence agencies to prevent such incidents from happening again and to continue their efforts to eradicate the ADF.

“There were a few gaps in the handling of these remnants. UWA was guarding tourists once they were in the Park. However, apparently, the tourists were arriving and departing individually. It is this gap that they used.”

“Secondly, the UPDF has been using one form of tracking these fugitive groups from Congo, Kufuata Nyayo- following their tracks (ekisinde, ekirari). There are more reliable ways of tracking, which we have discussed with the Army.” He Added
