The Ugandan army has hailed the killing of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) overall army commander, Yadin Tolbert Nyeko, as "one of the most significant victories against the LRA since the launch of Operation Iron Fist" in 2001. "This guy was army commander, so this is a big defeat for them. There are now only two above him – Vincent Otti and [Joseph] Kony himself. It weakens their morale. That's why they fought so hard to get his body back from us, but we repelled them," the spokesman of the Uganda People's Defence Forces (UPDF), Maj Shaban Bantariza, told IRIN on Wednesday.
