Kony's camp in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo has been set on fire. The attack is spear headed by three countries i.e. Uganda, Government of Southern Sudan and Democratic Republic of Congo. The statement announcing the attack was made in Kampala by the representative of the three countries targeting "terrorists" at their bases in the forested area of Garamba, in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, AFP news agency said. "The three armed forces successfully attacked the main body and destroyed the main camp of Kony, code-named camp Swahili, setting it on fire," the statement said.

The spokesman for the Lords Resistance Army (LRA), David Nyekorach Matsanga said:''The attack would strongly be opposed. I met with the president of Uganda just this week and he assured me there would be no attack on the LRA." Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has recently renewed a call for Joseph Kony to sign the peace deal, Reuters reports.
