In Uganda suspected members of the Lord’s Resistance Army have killed about 190 civilians living in a refugee camp. According to an eyewitness report many of those killed were forced into grass-thatched houses that were then set ablaze. About 5,000 people were also left homeless. Since the Lord’s Resistance Army took up arms against the Ugandan government in 1988 about 1.2 millions in northern Uganda have been displaced from their homes.
