An attack in Southern Sudan initially blamed on the rebel Lords Resistance Army was done by the Ugandan military, according to investigators.
"This was alleged to be the LRA," Dr Riek Machar, Vice President of the Government of Southern Sudan told the southern Sudan Parliament Monday. "I sent the committee to go and investigate it. The rest of the evidence is there. Indeed, it didn't turn out to be the LRA, but they were UPDF."
According to documents presented in Parliament, the Ceasefire Monitoring Team conducted a verification of the alleged LRA activities in area on June 19.
According to the report, an armed group of about 30 men raided a homestead with 5 houses at Nyongwa Village, close to the Sudan border with Uganda.

Where two Elephants fight, it`s the grass to suffer, is the old saying.I don`t think it is a right decission ,because if uganda continues to attack Sudan they may actually fuel Kony to combine effort with Sudan and bring a nother deadly battle in the Norhten part of the country.To suggest this kind of attack is to be inhuman and to suggest that everything can be settled by a gun is the old mind, Ugandans have to think how to move forward through peaceful means not though guns. the time of Alexander the Great, are no more.
UPDF - Museveni's tool as dictator. Every bully contnues to bully until the bully meets his match. If I were Museveni, I would be careful about expanding the Tutsi adveturism too too far. He might trigger something he has not bargined for. The SPLA is war toughened and all they have to do is join up with Kony and Uganda looses the whole North to GOSS. What a boon it would be - Uganda without those Northerners (Uganda Minus the West Nile, Lango, Karamoja, Teso Madi and Acholi and the resources). Then of course Buganda rebels!!! You read it here first.
And these nilotics will learn to speak kinyankole; wed their cousins; and live in igloo like grass-thatched shacks built of tree branches. How degenerate and backward is it gona get ?
ugandan army should continue attacking sudan because the sudanese people do support kony to disturb uganda
