"Referring to the major rebel group, the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) led by its messianic and iconic leader, Joseph Kony, as a "cult-like organization," Thompson said there have been problems with the Ugandan government's efforts in neutralizing the LRA, and mediating a final peace settlement.
She said that the United States has urged the government of Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni to broker a peace agreement with the rebels through the U.S.-sponsored Northern Uganda Peace Initiative (NUPI). She also said the United States has been assisting the Ugandan government with both these peace efforts and with military and logistical assistance to the Ugandan Peoples' Defense Force."
 
This is were some us us have   issues with the US Policy pertaining to the conflict and the resulting Humanitarian disaster  in Northern/ E astern Uganda.   The United States cannot and should not talk about encouraging the Ugandan dictatorship to seek  a peaceful avenue to resolve the the Northern to resolve the Northern Uganda Crises, while in the meantime and from under the table, the some US Government is promoting wars in Northern Uganda by it's on admission supplying militay and and logistical assistance to dictator Yoweri Museveni's NRM Military dictatorship.
 
Indeed, by now after what can only be described as 20 years of failed US Policy  pertaining to Northern/ Eastern , as evidence by the fact that the war in Northern and Eastern Uganda continues unabited , one would think that US Policy would emphasis the peaceful avenue to resolve the conflict Northern and Eastern Uganda other then the Military aspect. Further still,  haven't  the people of Uganda suffered long enough as a result of wars ? when is enough going to be enough?
