Ugandan soldiers have taken their fight against the notorious Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) into the Central African Republic (CAR), the army has confirmed.

My Comment: I was surprise to see this story from the BBC. This is one of the most under-reported wars in the world. It has been going on for decades, and it has consumed tens of thousands of lives .... and it shows no sign of ending.
