Meanwhile, Emmy Allio reports that the killing on Sunday of seven Arrow Group fighters has infuriated Teso leaders who have vowed to pursue the Kony rebels into northern Uganda and southern Sudan. "For the leaders in Teso, the death of the seven Arrow Group members is a personal blow. We sat and resolved that we shall avenge their death by pursuing their killers to Sudan," said state minister for health Mike Mukula. Kony rebels on Sunday shot dead seven Arrow Group fighters in Adongkweru village in Kaberamaido district. Mukula said the remnants of Kony rebels in Kaberamaido are led by one Lamola. "It is the wish of Teso leaders that Lamola must die and it does not matter where we get him," said Mukula who is also the coordinator of the Arrow Group.
