Attacks on Humanitarian Workers in Sudan and UgandaThe United States condemns the recent targeted attacks on international humanitarian workers by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) in southern Sudan and northern Uganda. These attacks have resulted in the brutal murder of humanitarian aid workers.
The murder of a British citizen in northern Uganda on November 8 follows a string of unprovoked and deliberate attacks on humanitarian workers in southern Sudan and northern Uganda. We offer our condolences to the families of the victims and call on the LRA to end their assaults on those assisting the displaced populations in the region.
