Peace talks between the government of Uganda and the Lords Resistance Army (LRA) formally commenced in Juba on 16th July 2006, after the Parties accepted the mediation of the government of Southern Sudan (GoSS) to find a peaceful settlement to the long conflict between them. The protracted negotiatiatons have now been concluded. However, the LRA has not yet sign the text of the final agreement. More recently, there have been reports of increased LRA movements and military activities in the region. At the same time states in the region have been discussing alternative ways of dealing with the LRA. These developments pose questions about the status of the peace process that need to be addressed. As the mediation, we believe that the process of negotiations which commenced in Juba produced sound agreements, whic, while challenging to implement, are indispensible for attaining a sustainable resolution of this conflict, and should command our commitment.
