Kampala -- THE first day of the new year started on a high note for the Uganda Peoples Defence Forces (UPDF) with the killing of senior LRA commander 'Brigadier' Bok Abudema. "Abudema's killing is a high target harvest. We are now looking at the tail end of the LRA. The remaining target is Joseph Kony," said army spokesman Lt. Col. Felix Kulayigye. Abudema, an LRA historical, was effectively the number three in the rebel group, coming in seniority after Kony and his deputy, Okot Odhiambo
