Uganda: Govt Cautious On Kony Deal

Kampala — The Ugandan government is cautious about the possibility that Joseph Kony may sign a final peace deal with the Government this Saturday.

Uganda's State minister for International relations, Henry Okello Oryem has said there are reports that Joseph Kony's advance team is already in Rikwangba and that Kony could be at the venue by Friday, ready for the signing.

Foreign Affairs Minister, Sam Kutesa has said "the government side is ready to sign any time, but Kony is the only serious obstacle."

The elusive rebel leader has failed to sign the final agreement several times in the past.
