The LRA's director of operations, Charles Arop, surrender along with one other soldier in his fighting group. He lost his troops in the jungles of E.Congo. Also, he said when he surrendered, "I'm left with only one fighter, so what choice do I have?" BBC reports: Mr Arop handed himself in to troops stationed in the town of Djabir in DR Congo. CNN reports that: "Arop had fled to Faradje, south of Garamba National Park, with about 100 men when Operation Lightning Thunder started in December 2008. Arop is also accused of a massacre on the people of Faradje on Christmas Day of 2008. According to the Human Rights Watch: Arop's troops killed 143 people and abducted 160 children and dozens of adults in the raid. The LRA led by Joseph Kony has been waging a 20-year guerilla war against the government of Uganda. Last year, it appeared that Kony would sign the peace deal in which several of his commanders had already stopped fighting. But in a last minute attempt, he didn't lay his arms down and took his army, most of them child soldiers from villages into neighboring countries. The three governments (Uganda,Congo, and Sudan) are working together to wipe out the remaining commanders and stop this once and for all. Sources- CNN News- [] BBC News- [] Similarities- Both articles have pictures shown with the article. The articles are very much the same length. Both sites coverage is very good of the situation that is happening. Differences- The titles from both articles are different. Also, the article depth is different because CNN is just a long summary that gets to the point and BBC talks more of the entire situation with the effects the civilians. Opinion- This is great for the fight against the rebel group. Finally, the Ugandan army is gaining ground on the LRA. I want Joseph Kony dead, now. He and his army have done enough damage to the country yet to the continent and also giving Africa the bad spotlight and name. The LRA must be brought to justice ASAP.
