Suspected rebels attacked a school in a remote area at night, killing at least 41 people before fleeing the scene. 9News
In addition to the 38 students, one guard and two residents of the local community in Mpondwe-Lhubiriha town were killed in the attack, said Mayor Selevest Mapoze.
The attack has sent shockwaves in this normally peaceful East African country whose long-time leader cites security as a strength of his government. ADF rebels, when under pressure, “divert” their pursuers' attention by splitting into small groups that then launch violent attacks in other places, said Maj.
The school raid, which happened around 11.30pm, involved about five attackers, according to the Ugandan military. She said “attacks on schools are unacceptable and are a grave violation of children’s rights," adding that schools should always be "a safe place for every student.”
