Kampala : Uganda’s opposition Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) will be fighting a coalition force made up of the Uganda army and their colleagues from neighboring DR Congo and Sudan.
Local Army spokesman Paddy Ankunda announced a three-party drive against rebel LRA leader Joseph Kony and his men that showed no interest in signing a peace accord with the government of President Yoweri Museveni.
Official negotiations with the LRA that operates in northern Uganda began July 2006. Rebels are accused of kidnapping children and youth, of forceful recruitment and other crimes against civilians, .
Along the talks mediated by the autonomous south Sudan government, the parties tried to arrange a peace process that would also benefit the north and areas sharing border with three other countries where the LRA has bases.
Kony began operations in the 80s always claiming that he wants to set up a cabinet based on the Ten Commandments yet its group is considered one of the cruellest in Africa, spanning to Central Africa, well far its usual theatre of operations.
The military drive was approved Tuesday after the 30-day deadline for Kony to sign the peace pact signed by the parties involved in the conflict.
