IN the final hunt to capture the Lord's Resistance Army leader, Joseph Kony, the Sudan
People's Armed Forces (SPAF) has boosted the Uganda People's Defence Forces (UPDF)
with key intelligence and air surveillance systems to track down the rebels' last
bastion in the jungles of southern Sudan.
SPAF has also blocked Kony and his last troops now fleeing UPDF's northward-bound
pursuit from escaping beyond Juba.
SPAF's Brigadier Moham-med Habib and Brig. Kale Kaihura, Ugandan army chief political
commissar/ military assistant to President Yoweri Museveni, said they were commited to
ending the 18-year long war in a rare meeting at Malu, 15 km south of Juba in Sudan on
Friday.

As a show of goodwill, SPAF supplied the UPDF with several sacks of maize flour, sugar
and other food to prolonged cheers from their Ugandan counterparts who, in a
blistering attack last week scattered Kony's hide-out in well disguised training camps
at Biri-nyang, 4km away from Malu.
Brig Habib said, "We promise to supply you with every piece of intelligence on Kony's
movements that our forces gather. Our planes fly together with yours in the air
surveillance to monitor the movements of Kony and his terrorists. We are doing joint
monitoring."
