21 year old Jackline Apio, who was abducted 6 years ago, was recently rescued in an joint operation between Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. She relates her experience to a IRIN news researcher.

The first day of the attack I was in the camp. LRA leader Joseph Kony had told us a day earlier there were plans to bomb the camp and ordered all his commanders and other soldiers to leave immediately.

At about 11am, after we had cooked, we heard the sound of approaching helicopters. Minutes later they [the helicopters] started bombing the camp. We all ran away.

After two hours the rebels came back [to the camp] and collected food, medicine and weapons they had abandoned. The rebels, women and children later joined Kony. He was looking enraged, and we started walking towards [the] Central African [Republic].
