Running Out of Patience with LRA
Increasingly the general public not only in Acholi but across Uganda seem to be running out patience with what is seen as delaying tactics by the LRA Team in Juba. The team recently asked for a break and for time to tour Northern Uganda. Meanwhile some members of the team have been flying in and out of Juba to London, Nairobi, Washington etc apparently to consult and settle personal matters. Recently Yolam Okech was seen in the London Streets and has been soliciting ideas and cotributions to the teams strategy on future development of health services in the war affected areas. Quietly, even supporters of the talks have commented that this is a very ad hoc way of conducting talks that are so vital to the future of the long suffering people of the region. If the team do not have any more ideas they should stop wating time and get the talks completed and agreement signed so that further discusions on development can occur internally in Uganda.
