Armies 'attack Uganda rebels'

In Uganda three African armies, Ugandan, DR Congolese and the government of South Sudan's, have launched a joint offensive against Ugandan rebels based in eastern DR Congo, military officials say. The rebel group is known as the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) in the Garamba region of DR Congo. This attack seems to to be incurred by LRA leader Joseph Kony, wanted by the International Criminal Court stalling on a peace deal. The LRA has led a rebellion for more than 20 years in northern Uganda and the fighting has displaced some two million people.
