LRA Regional Update: DRC, CAR and south Sudan – January



Overview

The first quarter of 2011 has witnessed a significant increase in the number of LRA incidents in the region. In total, 107 LRA attacks have been reported in DRC, South Sudan and CAR between January and March 2011. This represents over one-third of the total number of attacks reported in 2010, during which 306 attacks were recorded in the three countries. DRC continues to have the highest number of attacks (84) and abductions (125), compared to CAR and South Sudan, which cumulatively reported 23 attacks and 53 abductions in 2011. Majority of the attacks for DRC (31) and CAR (4) occurred in January 2011, while South Sudan had the highest (7) attacks in February. A total of 68 deaths have been reported in 2011. Despite the increase in the attacks in 2011, there has been a significant reduction of 60% in the number of deaths compared to the same period in 2010 (174 cases). Also the total number of abductions has reduced by 22% in 2011. Currently there are approximately 348,490 LRA induced IDPs in the three countries, of which more than 38,000 people were displaced in the first quarter of 2011.
