Ugandan Tour Guide Killed In Queen Elizabeth Park Named

Eric Alyai has been identified as the local tour guide who was slain at Queen Elizabeth National Park alongside two foreign tourists by suspected Allied Democratic Forces (ADF).

Alyai worked for the nearby tour operator Gorillas Wildlife Safari.

The deceased visitors, whose names have been concealed, “include a UK citizen and a South African citizen,” according to the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA).

The attackers lit fire to the Land Cruiser with the three people inside it, which had the license plate UBF 303C.

These occurrences are quite uncommon in Uganda’s national parks.

The “cowardly incident,” according to the police, took place between Lake Nyamununka and Kabatooro.

In a statement released on Tuesday, the police stated, “The three were killed, and their safari vehicle was burned.”

The law enforcement agency emphasized that “our joint forces responded immediately upon receiving the information and are aggressively pursuing the suspected ADF rebels.”

Authorities have not yet determined the dead travelers’ nationality.

The incident is anticipated to have a profound impact on Uganda’s tourism sector.

ADF assaults As Ugandan security forces search for ADF militants in their lairs in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the deaths occur.

A series of terrorist assaults in the DRC and Uganda are attributed to an armed insurgency group with ties to the Islamic state.

Five armed ADF members ambushed and burned a trailer carrying onions from Kisoro to the Mpondwe-Lhubiriha border last Friday.

At Katojo Junction on the Bwera-Kinyamaseke-Kasese Road in the Kasese District, this took place.

The militants attacked a school in Kasese, close to the border with the DRC, in June, killing 41 people.

On Sunday, President Museveni said that security forces had stopped an ADF bombing attempt in Butambala, Central Uganda.

Museveni declared, “We will catch them wherever they go: Congo, Uganda, South Africa, or wherever they go.”
