Ugandan rebels shoot 60 mourners dead inside Sudan
2002-04-29
Up to 60 mourners have been shot dead in southern Sudan by suspected Ugandan rebels who forced them to eat a dead body they were about to bury, the Ugandan army charged. Army spokesman Major Shaban Bantariza told AFP that the attack took place Friday on the ranges of mountain Agoro, which straddles the Uganda, Sudan border."The LRA (Lord's Resistance Army) attacked them as they were about to bury a person," Bantariza said, adding that Ugandan forces battling the rebels in the area gave the report.
The Ugandans said they'd broken them up. Either they were wrong, or these are the remnants.
"At gun point they forced them to cut to pieces the dead body and ordered them to mix the (human) meat with the sorghum they were cooking. They were forced to eat it before 60 of them were shot dead," Bantariza added. He said that frightened locals fled the area and sought refugee at camps of the Sudanese army nearby. No independent confirmation of the incident has been obtained.
When the Ugandans or the Sudanese catch these guys and "violate their human rights" by killing them slowly, I intend to yawn.
