The Juba peace talks for Northern Uganda stand at a perilous juncture following the rejection by Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) leader Joseph Kony of a peace deal with the Ugandan government.
A Human Rights Watch report released this week asserts that the LRA has embarked on a “new spree of abductions and sexual violence” since February 2008, taking at least 100 people “and perhaps many more, in the Central African Republic (CAR), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and Southern Sudan”.
