“The team, comprising members of the defence, internal affairs and foreign affairs
committees has written to the Sudanese government to arrange and help facilitate them to meet
the LRA peace-team.”
I think it will be kind of tough to find a neutral team from government
branches named above:
Defense: members of this group have been engaging LRA time immemorial
and some have given multiple deadlines to annihilate Kony
To think that anyone from the internal security, which branch has failed
to safe guard the lives of Ugandans maimed and killed due to the LRA bizarre war,
is a fallacy.
The foreign affair branch of the government has managed to convince the
international community that LRA is a terrorist organization and have been
condemned even by the Pontiff and the USA administration has come to Uganda’s call for assistance and in terms of arms
and logistics to annihilate the LRA.
Sudan has provided sanctuary and logistics to LRA and it
would be stupid the Ugandan government to think that the Khartoum administration would be neutral in these talks.

MEMBERS of Parliament have proposed a neutral peace team amongst themselves to
mediate talks between the Government and the Lord's Resistance Army.
The team, comprising members of the defence, internal affairs and foreign
affairs committees has written to the Sudanese government to arrange and help
facilitate them to meet the LRA peace-team.
They have also written to the Government peace team, inviting them for a
meeting on Monday, before meeting defence and internal affairs ministers on
Tuesday.
Drawing the tentative programme at parliament on Monday, committee chairman
Simon Mayende said it was also imperative to meet religious leaders in the
affected districts.
Pius Mujuzi (Kyotera) said the presidential peace team was not ardent with the
talks, because it sat back when Kony refused to talk.
