Après moi, le Deluge (After me, the storm). The words of King Louis XIV which have come to epitomise the psychology of those who ruin people and the earth with no thought for tomorrow. And, there flees the 'blessed' liberator after destroying Acoli lives with the help of his fellow avenger, Museveni..!
Give him asylum and hand him over - to the UN or M7, whoever comes first..
Kony applies for asylum |

THE rebel Lord's Resistance Army leader, Joseph Kony has formally approached the Central African Republic [CAR] government pleading for asylum, Daily Monitor has reliably established. Highly placed sources said yesterday that the LRA warlord made the request for sanctuary, under the auspices of CAR President, Gen Francois Bozizé, sometime last week. President Bozizé on receiving the request, Daily Monitor has learnt, dispatched his Chief of Staff, over the weekend, to meet President Yoweri Museveni over the matter. Dr E. Jebbari arrived in the country on Saturday and met Mr Museveni on Monday, before flying back to Bangui, the CAR capital, the same day. The President's Press Secretary, Mr Onapito Ekomoloit, said, "There was no such meeting my office has covered." However, a source to the meeting said Jebbari met Museveni at State House, Nakasero, and told the President that his government had received Kony's request but could not take any decisive action until it had formally contacted Kampala. Previously, intelligence sources within the UPDF claimed that Kony likes the CAR, and that he has a base at Bamboute, 1362 km east of Bangui. But authorities in CAR denied the reports. Kony has in the past said he cannot settle in Uganda, even when the LRA and Kampala sign a comprehensive peace agreement. He said he would be comfortable settling in CAR, Southern Sudan and DR Congo among other countries. LRA write to Tutu The letter written by the LRA head of delegation, Martin Ojul, is inviting the Bishop to advise both sides on how the commission can deal with crimes committed, since the commencement of the northern conflict. MPs to meet Museveni Ms Betty Amongi [MP Apac] and Johnson Malinga [Kapelebyong] led the group. Parliament heard yesterday that the UN and the US have promised to support the suspension of the indictment of top LRA leaders by the ICC. Ms Among said, "The President [Kiir] has assured us that he has already consulted various governments that have pledged to support his government in stopping the prosecution, should the Juba peace talks succeed." In Gulu, Mr Norbert Mao, the District Chairman demanded permission to join the talks in Juba, not as an observer but active participant.
