| Ugandan president says Kony "not serious" on talks |
| 2008-04-15 |
| Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni accused fugitive rebel leader Joseph Kony on Monday of not being serious about peace talks and hinted his forces could resume operations against the guerrillas. Prospects of an end to one of Africa's longest wars were dashed last week after Kony, commander of the Lord's Resistance Army, failed to attend a signing ceremony on the Sudan-Congo border, stalling nearly two years of tortuous negotiations. "You have been able to persist until it is clear that it's Kony who is not serious," Museveni told south Sudanese mediators during a visit to the southern capital Juba. He accused LRA fighters of continuing to kidnap villagers from southern Sudan, Congo and Central African Republic and then forcing them into the rebel ranks. |
