Joseph Kony
As the Juba negotiation stall, a member of the LRA delegation who is currently abroad having taken a break from the talks has confided in us that the LRA is now poised for ‘Plan B’, which is the military option. This is as a result of recent heavy military movement of Uganda Government troops towards Southern Sudan and Democratic Republic of Congo. The source also confirmed that President Museveni’s recent arrogant statements made in Gulu indicated that he was preparing the ground for his army to attack the LRA. The decision by the ICC not to suspend the warrants of arrest and the impotency of local elected, religious and cultural leaders to intervene and directly demand this from the ICC directly has not helped the situation. Information that we here at Juba Talks blog are receiving from Northern Uganda indicate that the Ugandan army are confident that the international community will not condemn them if they were to attack the LRA and capture Kony and his fellow indicted commanders. Infact, opinion political opinion particularly in Britain and the United States is in favour of a military option. One Ugandan senior military officer who has recently visited Britain said that they were itching to deal the final military blow to Kony, after which the next stage will be to go for the so called political brains behind the LRA, particularly those allegedly in the diaspora.
