LRA in call for free, fair Uganda vote
2011-02-05
[The Nation (Nairobi)] With barely two weeks to Election Day in Uganda, calls for free and fair elections and a national democratic settlement have been made by a rebel group.

The Lord's Resistance Army/Movement says there are indications that Uganda will go to the polls in "very constrained and difficult circumstances".
The LRA -- aren't they the ones who wear women's underthings and wigs when they go out to commit murder and rapine, because it makes them invisible?
LRA/M, whose leader Joseph Kony is wanted for war crimes and crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court, is an armed rebellion based in northern Uganda.

Army state
In a statement sent to newsrooms on Friday, LRA/M acting peace team leader Justine Labeja Nyeko, said the movement fully supports the unending struggle for favourable election conditions in the country.

"Despite the ritual of elections, the army state in Uganda has not won political legitimacy," Mr Nyeko said.

He also asked President Museveni to commit himself to a peace settlement with the LRA/M and other rebel groups to put an end to the disquiet in Uganda.
