[Paul Ronan @pauldronan]

Notably, our local early warning system and @CrisisTracker project has not documented a single attack attributable to #Kony's LRA sub-group in over a year. All attacks have been committed by splinter groups operating independently of his command.

Fantastic piece on trends in #LRA activity by @sophie_neiman. Includes @CrisisTracker data on continued abduction of children and youth documented by @Invisible-supported early warning system in #DRC and #CAR.

[The New Humanitarian @newhumanitarian]

The Lord’s Resistance Army has been reduced to a dwindling rump of fighters spread across vast swathes of territory in Central Africa. So what's to make of the group’s spate of recent attacks? https://t.co/u3mWZjsEgU

Since January 2018, the LRA has abducted 112 children in eastern #Centrafrique and northeastern #DRCongo

The LRA has abducted at least 43 children so far in 2019, 37 of these children are still missing.

[Paul Ronan @pauldronan]

Important HRW report on high levels of armed group violence in and near Bria, CAR. Data from Invisible Children's @CrisisTracker project corroborates this trend. So far in 2018, more than 40% of all attacks against civilians in eastern CAR we've recorded have taken place in Bria.

[Paul Ronan @pauldronan]

Yesterday the LRA struck again, reportedly abducting 18 people southeast of Banda. 13 were released soon after, but we're hearing five children remain in captivity. Counting the six children abducted on August 26, that's 11 children taken into captivity in the last week.

[Crisis Tracker @CrisisTracker]

Thread on major LRA attack in #DRC this week. 27 people abducted on Sunday, with six children still remaining in captivity.

[Paul Ronan @pauldronan]

Our team has been working to confirm reports of a major #LRA attack on Banda, DRC, on Sunday, August 26. Very credible reports that LRA went into center of town and abducted at least 27 people.

[Paul Ronan @pauldronan]

Here's a photo of David (who's also featured in @sallyhayd's thread) and Angelique, two superstars who flew into Banda, picked up the three defectors, and flew back to safety. From there they were repatriated to Kampala, and today they reunited with their families.
