Deadly Rebel Attack on Ugandan School Prompts Military Pursuit of Perpetrators.
TL;DR
At least 41 civilians, mostly students, were killed in an attack on a school in Uganda by the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a rebel group that has pledged allegiance to ISIL. The ADF is considered the deadliest of dozens of armed militias that roam mineral-rich eastern DRC. The group was formed in 1995 by a coalition of rebel forces to fight against the administration of President Yoweri Museveni. This was not the first attack on a school in Uganda by the ADF.
