Raska Lukwiya, indicted LRA Commander dead?
Reports by Uganda Government that its forces killed Raska Lukwiya appear to have thrown Juba Talks in turmoil. The mediator's team still feel they will carry on tomorrow, Monday, but it seems themainly civilain negotiation team of the LRA are in the dark. The LRA High Command itself is in the dark as it tries to establish what really happened. This throws a different light on the negotiations but probably confirms indications that both sides were still poised for a military confrontation as opposed to a settlement in Juba. The circumstances unde which Lukwiya, if at all was killed, needs to be established. Was he pursued as a result of intelligence gathered during the Juba Talks?
