Fresh clashes in Apaa leave 3,000 locals displaced
Uganda, Feb. 21 -- At least 3,000 people have fled their homes following attacks by unidentified assailants in Apaa Township which borders Adjumani and Amuru districts.
The attackers, who were armed with spears, bows, arrows, and pangas among other weapons, reportedly raided the area between Friday night and Monday morning setting houses on fire and slaughtering livestock.
