The Ugandan delegation leaves today for Juba for talks with the rebel Lords Resistance Army. The government delegation, set to arrive in Juba this morning, was invited by the South Sudan President, Mr Salva Kiir. Officials at the Ugandan consulate in Juba confirmed the meeting between the LRA and the government but preferred Kampala to give an official statement. The Minister for Internal Affairs, Dr
Ruhakana Rugunda said, "an appropriate authority will, at an opportune moment, issue a statement."
Britains U.N. Ambassador Emyr Jones Parry, who is leading the Security Councils visit to Africa, told reporters "the Security Council has asked for a full account of the activities of the LRA. It believes that the regional dimension of the LRA is a threat to peace and the stability of the region, and it would very much like this scourge to be eliminated." Asked whether the council wants Kony and the others arrested during peace negotiations, Jones Parry said if a political process can draw the bulk of "the more innocent" LRA victims away from the group "thats to be encouraged."
