The LRA affected areas are located in Western Equatoria and Western Bahr el Ghazal States of South Sudan. Worst
affected are: Maridi, Yambio, Ezo, Nzara and Tambira counties. More than 45,024 IDPs live in the affected regions.
Reports of LRA activities in South Sudan increased in March 2010. An average of 2 attacks per month has been recorded
in 2010, with the worst attacks (7) occurring in May, during which 9 deaths and 20 abductions, including 5 children were
reported. This coincides with the lull in DRC during the same period. Equally high was the month of March, when 5 LRA
attacks resulted in 19 abductions and 1 death, and in September, when 1 attack resulted in 8 deaths. South Sudan
recorded 52 abductions in 2010. Overall the LRA activity in South Sudan declined towards the end of the year.
The LRA affected areas in CAR are:- Haute-Kotto, Haute-Mbomou, Vakanga
and Mbomou Prefectures. An estimated 42,500 IDPs remain displaced in the LRA
affected areas, of which 16,600 were displaced in 2010 mainly due to LRA activity.
Unlike DRC, CAR experienced fewer attacks, with an average of 6 attacks per
month. In the same period, CAR reported a high number of abductions (312)
close to DRC (316), with the months of May and September recording 69 and 71
abductions, respectively. This could be as a result of the group’s movement from DRC.
Attacks by the LRA militia remain a major threat in DRC, CAR and South Sudan.
The groups’ activities are largely concentrated in already insecure areas of the
affected countries. In 2010, 306 LRA attacks were reported in the three countries,
resulting in 355 deaths and 680 abductions, including of children. In total, more
than 380,953 people remained displaced in the LRA affected areas in 2010.
While South Sudan and CAR saw a decline in the number of attacks in 2010,
DRC experienced sustained attacks throughout the year. 70% (214 incidents)
of the total attacks were recorded in DRC, which also had the highest number of
deaths (251 people). According to UNICEF, 265 children were abducted in DRC
in 2010. Compared to DRC which had a higher number of attacks
(214 against 68 in CAR), the number of abductions in CAR remained high with only
a difference of four cases between the two countries. This raises concerns as to
whether CAR is the recruitment base for the LRA.
The main LRA affected areas in DRC are: - Bas-Uele, Haut-Uele and Ituri
districts in province Orientale. These districts are located in Eastern DRC,
a region suffering from protracted internal conflicts and insecurity due to
frequent rebel activity in the area. More than 293,429 people are internally
displaced in Orientale Province due to LRA activities, while some fled to
S. Sudan (19,805) and CAR (3,500) as refugees. LRA attacks in DRC are
relatively consistent, averaging 18 attacks per month. However, the period
between January and March witnessed 63 attacks, resulting in more than
149 deaths and 128 abductions. The massacre in Niangara territory in
Feb 2010 resulting in 74 deaths. After a lull in May-June, the number of
attacks increased between July and September, during which 68 attacks
were recorded, resulting in 61 deaths and 100 abductions. The increase
could be due to some LRA groups returning back from CAR and S-Sudan
at the same period. Since the end of June, a resurgence of LRA attacks in
Faradje territory has been observed.
