The Ugandan Lord's Resistance Army, the LRA, has been making its presence felt outside Ugandan territory in recent months.
The LRA's activities in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo have already triggered the mass displacement of civilians.
The LRA has also been in the Central African Republic, targeting villages in the country's isolated south-east, where it made its first attacks in early 2008.
Uganda has responded by sending it's army in hot pursuit but the situation is still far from stable.
Our correspondent, Chris Simpson, travelled with the International Committee of the Red Cross, the ICRC to Obo in the south-east to look at the difficulties facing civilians caught up in the recent conflict. He sent us this report.
