afrol News, 11 April - Uganda's Chief Negotiator in the talks involving the government of Uganda and the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) said it was "absolutely legitimate" for Joseph Kony [leader of LRA] to "seek explanation or clarification on a matter that deals with his fate."

Ruhakana Rugunda's reaction was in response to the last minute postponement of a final peace accord between the government and the LRA in Ri Kwangba, a village along the borders of South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The accord seeks to nail the more than two decade long conflict in northern Uganda.

The delay has been prompted by Mr Kony's request for clarification on certain issues, including an international warrant for crimes against humanity against him.

“It’s our target to get total peace," Rugunda said. "The peace process is advancing."

The LRA's Chief Negotiator in the Juba talks has thrown in his towel and returned to London.

However, sources said David Matsanga has been fired from by Joseph Kony, the leader and founder of the LRA. Kony claims to be defending the 10 commandments of God.
