  • A manhunt is underway in Uganda after 200 inmates overpowered their guards and escaped with weapons in a blaze of gunfire that left four people dead, a prison spokesman said Thursday. The prisoners seized guns from the armoury at a government prison in Moroto, a remote region 460 kilometres (286 miles) from Kampala, before dashing for the cover of nearby mountains with police, soldiers and helicopters in pursuit. Prison spokesman Frank Baine said three inmates and a soldier were killed in a shootout as roughly 200 escapees fled toward Mount Moroto, some half-naked after shedding their bright yellow prison-regulation jumpsuits. "There was exchange of fire between the armed inmates and security guards but our forces overpowered them, and we captured seven of them. Total casualties are three inmates dead, and one soldier succumbed to gunshot wounds," Baine said. Some prison wardens were wounded in the jailbreak while seven prisoners were recaptured in what Baine described as "one of the rarest cases of its kind in the history of Uganda's Prison Service". The rest were on the run, pursued by armed search parties and helicopters brought in to spot them from above in the rugged terrain, said Uganda's prison commissioner Johnson Byabashaija. Among the escapees were prisoners considered dangerous and jailed for involvement in deadly armed cattle raids across Karamoja, an impoverished region bordering South Sudan and Kenya. "There is concern that some guns are in the wrong hands, but these will be recaptured. We have enough forces on the ground and helicopters to track them. The public is advised to stay calm," said Byabashaija. str-np/ri
