Ugandan rebel Lord’s Resistance Army leader Joseph Kony has moved to the Central African Republic from his Democratic Republic of Congo base. 

Ugandan Minister of State for Defence Ruth Nankabirwa said that by doing so, he was violating a ceasefire deal.

The brutal conflict has left thousands dead and nearly two million displaced.
