The UPDF has so far not located the Lord’s Resistence Army (LRA) leader Joseph Kony's hideout.
Kony has changed tactics. He has stopped killing and abducting people in Central Africa Republic (CAR). It has therefore become difficult for the UPDF squads hunting for him to track him, according to the Commander of Operation Lightening Thunder, Colonel Joseph Balikuddembe has said.
Kony and his LRA rebels fled the onslaught against their bases in Garamba Forest in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to Central African in 2008 when the UPDF launched Operation Lightening thunder. Some scattered deeper into the DRC where they are still abducting people since the UPDF pulled out of the country last year.
Operation Lightening Thunder is still vigorously pursuing Kony in the sprawling jungles of CAR but has been confronted with unexpected twists.
“The problem with locating and fighting Kony in the CAR is that he has changed tactics. He no longer fights. He no longer abducts people. The rebels have stopped wearing dreadlocks and they no longer have gardens. ' Balikuddembe said at a media briefing at Djema which is the last logistical base and the heart of the operation against the LRA in CAR.
Journalists were later dropped in various locations in wild where they joined the relentless hunt for the elusive rebel leader.
"Kony decided not to raid civilians because he was losing his fighters. Kony and his people now survive on wild yams while others have taken to fishing for survival. We got that intelligence from those we captured, ‘‘the soft spoken Balikuddembe explained and gave other factors that have made the operation drag on for long.

MBINU ZA KUMFIKISHA MWANAMKE MWENYE MAKALIO MAKUBWA KILELENI KWA HARAKA

Kwa kawaida wanawake wanafikia kilele (mwisho wa utamu wa ngono) kati ya dakika ishirini na saa moja, yaani kwa kifupi inawachukua muda mrefu sana hali inayopelekea mpenzi mvivu kuchoka na ufanyaji wake utakuwa wa “ovyo” hali itakayo kufanya wewe kuishiwa na hamu ya kuendelea. Pamoja na kuchelewa huko ambako kunatokana na utofauti wetu kati ya mwanaume na mwanamke lakini nakumbuka hapo nyuma nilikutana na wanawake 2 waliokuwa ndani ya ndoa na wamezaa lakini hawajawahi kabisa kujua utamu wa tendo hilo alimaharufu kama “kufanya mapenzi”.
