Khartoum joins AU anti-LRA meetings in Addis Ababa KHARTOUM (30 Mar.) Sudanese army chief of staff Tuesday has arrived in Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa to participate in the meetings of the Joint Coordination Mechanism of the African Union-led Regional Cooperation Initiative for the Elimination of the Lord's Resistance Army (RCI-LRA). The Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), wihich origins from northern Uganda, is a violent militant group led by Joseph Kony. It committed heinous atrocities in northern Uganda, before extending operations into South Sudan, and it moved recently to Congo and Central African Republic. The Ugandan government over the past years accused Sudan of supporting the LRA Joseph Kony. But, the Khartoum government denied the claim.“The Chief of Staff Lt Gen., Emad Eddin Mustafa Adawi, has left the country for Addis Ababa, representing the Minister of Defence to take part in the 6th Ministerial Meeting of the Joint Coordination Mechanism (JCM) of the RCI-LRA," partly reads a statement issued by Sudan’s army. In June last year, Sudan government declined to join the African Union-led Regional Cooperation Initiative for the Elimination of the Lord’s Resistance Army (RCI-LRA) considering that the Ugandan rebel group had no presence in its territory. -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/southsudankob View this message at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/southsudankob/topic-id/message-id For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
