ICC Warrants on Uganda Government Army Commanders
As the ICC is now adamant about the warrants and clearly says war crimes must be punished no matter what, the case for bringing those in the Uganda Government army and in leadership position who are responsible for killings in Northern and Eastern Uganda also to be brought to book. What the LRA Juba delegation lack at the moment is the capacity and leadership to co-ordinate and bring such an action about. The so called elders outside the country who the delegation appear to be relying on and frequesntly consulting seem bankrupt of ideas as they cannot even come out in the open and discuss their ideas with those who may be supportive. As the decisive stage of the talks begin, the remaining LRA delegation in Juba is instead wasting its effort demading for the removal of Rugunda and Oryem from the Government delegation because they are not elected Ministers. One may ask what moral authority the LRA delegation have demading this when they themselves do not represent an elected voice or the broad voice of those who for years have been active in the opposition to the Museveni regime in Northern Uganda. Instead of busying themselves organising the visit to the UK of Kizza Besigye, some of the LRA delegation currently in the UK should have been involving a broad section of both Ugandan and non-Ugandan supporters to strenthgthen what those in Juba present in the next round of talks.
