The Amnesty Commission is not the solution to the war. The only solution is to meet the LRA demands of "democracy" in the country. We all know that the LRA wants Museveni out of the chair, so what is he waiting for?? Museveni is keeping many Ugandans hostages and human shields to his dictatorial rule. If Museveni was sympathetic to the Northern lives we lost and we lossing now, he should give up power and let democracy flourish in our Uganda. Museveni needs to give the Acholis a Federal Status, give up power, and then we shall see some peace in the North. But as long as the mentioned are not realities in the North, the war will never end. Why do you think Museveni gets no votes from the Northern part of Uganda?? He has support of the people, he has failed them.

THE state minister for northern Uganda, Grace Akello, has asked religious leaders to counsel Kony rebels to surrender.
Akello said religious leaders should talk to the rebels with the knowledge of the military, her office and local leaders.
"The Government wants them to surrender and they would be resettled," she said.
Akello was speaking at celebrations to mark the World Day for Disabled Persons at Apac recently.
Akello represen ted the Vice-President, Prof. Gilbert Bukenya, at the national celebrations hosted by the district.
She said President Yoweri Museveni was committed to ending the rebel atrocities in the region.
She said Museveni had strengthened the UPDF onslaught against the rebels by recruiting the Amuka group to help the army fight the LRA rebels in Lira as they did in Teso region.
She challenged the Lord's Resistance Army leadership to come out of the bush if they were committed to peaceful resolution of the conflict.
She said the formation of the Amnesty Commission and other peace teams showed Museveni's quest to end the war by any means possible.
