    Uganda says 219 prisoners escape, some with guns and ammunition.


    https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/...062434374.html

    Ugandan forces have launched a manhunt to recapture more than 200 prisoners who escaped jail after stealing weapons and fled into a remote wilderness area in the country's northeast. At least three people - a soldier and two of the 219 escapees - died in a gun battle and two inmates were rearrested, according to Brigadier Flavia Byekwaso, spokeswoman for the military. The jailbreak occurred on Wednesday afternoon near the army barracks in the district of Moroto in northeast Uganda. "They overpowered the warden who was on duty," Byekwaso said. Before fleeing, they broke into the prison armoury and stole 15 AK-47 rifles, 20 magazines and other ammunition.

    Depends on how much ammo they have. Since they are on foot, they don't have enough ammo. That's for sure.
