Uganda warns rebels, if no peace deal signed by Saturday

afrol News, 27 November - The government of Uganda has cast a suspicion on a promise by the Lord’s Resistance Army rebel leader, Joseph Kony, saying it is the last chance for him to sign a peace deal or face action.

State Minister for Defence Ruth Nankabirwa warned the rebels yesterday at a passing out ceremony of senior officers, who graduated after a senior command course.

Though not giving any further details on the government's plan against Mr Kony and his rebel group, Ms Nankabirwa said the day of the signing of the peace deal was Saturday and no other day.

Mr Kony had amongst others, demanded the scrapping of the ICC arrest warrants against him and his top commanders before signing the peace deal.

The Ugandan government has recently accused the Lord’s Resistance Army rebels of abducting children in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan and Uganda but said a peace deal would be a better option to a lasting solution that would bring to an end nearly two decades of war in northern Uganda which has killed thousands of people and left 2 million homesless.
