President Museveni deployed the Uganda People's Defense Force (UPDF) almost two years ago deep inside DR Congo to destroy and defeat ADF despite the heavy deployment of UPDF to DR Congo to contain the attack inside Uganda by ADF, the brutal rebel group continues to infiltrate havoc in Uganda and DR Congo
