LRA Position Paper on Ceasefire is spot on

The latest paper by the LRA delegation touches on a number of important issues that we have previously raised here. The matter of an independent ceasefire monitoring team, as well as the withdrawal back into the barracks of all Uganda government soldiers are crucial demands that must not just be dismmissed. The argument by Museveni and suprisingly Salva Kiir that because the LRA do not control any territory the matter of a ceasefire does not apply is plainly wrong. The nature of the LRA insurgency is not conventional but still involves skirmishes in various locations inside and outside Uganda. These obviously involve the exchange of fire. Logic follows therefore that a ceasefire should apply if reasonable basis for a peace agreement is to established. So, the LRA position paper in our view is spot on.
