Over 60 people have been killed in what security agencies referred to as tribal clashes in Western Uganda.

Nearly half of the deceased were killed by police and Uganda Peoples Defence Forces as they battled an allegedly armed Bakonzo that attacked their facilities.

“In Kanyamwirima village, one UPDF soldier was killed and 42 of the attackers were also killed. Now, about 54 attackers have been killed and 40 arrested,” the UPDF’s Rwenzori region spokesperson Lt Ninsiima Rwemijuma said.

The mercenaries carried out attacks in three districts targeting police stations, army barracks and Basongola communities.
