Karamojong cattle rustlers ambushed a convoy that included soldiers guarding Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni. Museveni was visiting a camp in the area. Museveni is visiting the region to promote his tribal disarmament program. Three soldiers were injured in the ambush and were evacuated by helicopter to a military hospital. A subsequent report said the ambush occurred at Kamusalaba Junction on the road from Moroto to Nakapiripiriti (northeastern Uganda). So far, the herders have turned in 11,000 weapons.
