In an updated advisory, the UK advised its nationals “against all but essential travel” to Queen Elizabeth National Park. Around 15,000 British nationals visit Uganda every year. The tourists’ vehicle was burnt by suspected ADF fighters in Queen Elizabeth National ParkThe Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) are trying to wage a guerilla war in western Uganda, a defence official disclosed on Wednesday.

This is evidenced by the nature of attacks being carried out by the Islamic State-linked insurgents in different parts of Uganda and eastern Congo. Guerrilla warfare is a form of unconventional fighting style in which small groups of irregular forces use ambushes, sabotage, terrorism, raids, petty warfare or hit-and-run tactics in a war against regular forces.

On 17 June 2023, ADF attacked a school in Mpondwe, Kasese District, western Uganda, close to the border with the DRC. 42 people were killed. The terrorists, who have since pledged allegiance to Islamic State, quickly disappeared under the cover of darkness. On 16 November 2021, terrorists used two explosive devices in central Kampala killing 4 and injuring 33 people.

The attackers fled before the explosions. The Uganda Police Force disrupted an attempted IED attack at Miracle Centre Cathedral in the Rubaga Division of Kampala on 3 September 2023. President Museveni said ADF attempted an attack on churches in Butambala district this past Sunday. Last Friday, five armed ADF elements ambushed a trailer which was carrying onions from Kisoro to Mpondwe Lhubiriha border and burnt it.

This happened at Katojo Junction along Bwera-Kinyamaseke-Kasese Road in Kasese District. The attackers are still on the run.The militants, who have been accused of committing atrocities in the region, are suspected of masterminding the attack in Queen Elizabeth National Park in Western Uganda on October 17 in which a local guide and two foreign tourists were killed.

Another source said fighting a guerilla war requires public support for insurgents which is not the case with ADF in western Uganda where the fighters have committed atrocities. However, a guerilla group can thrive on support from foreign funders and illicit trade. The attack in Queen Elizabeth National Park is expected to hurt Uganda’s tourism sector.

In an updated advisory, the UK advised its nationals “against all but essential travel” to Queen Elizabeth National Park. “If you are currently in the Park, you should follow the advice of local security authorities. If you are able to do so safely, you should consider leaving the area,” said the UK government.

However, the UK emphasised that “Most visits are trouble-free.”Around 15,000 British nationals visit Uganda every year. A local tourist guide who was killed in Queen Elizabeth National Park alongside two foreign tourists, was identified as Eric Alyai, an employee of Gorillas Wildlife Safari.The vehicle in which the trio was travelling, a Land Cruiser registration number UBF 303C, was burnt by the assailants.
