"LRA declared war on Langi...and we the Langi are also declaring war on them and we shall win. Since we have unanimously agreed, armed with guns, spears, axes and pangas, the rebels will be driven off," he said.
This is stupid talk! How can you engage the so called "rebels " while armed with Machetes, spears and axes? The mighty UPDF which is armed with Helicopter gunships, tanks, machine guns have not succeeded in defeating the "rebels" after 17 years of war. Instead civilians have suffered the wrath of the UPDF.
How on earth does Omara Atubo think the Langi can perform any better?
The only solution to this "Kony" nightmare is a peacefully negotiated settlement. Even Yoweri Museveni's friends in the West agree on this.

OTUKE MP Daniel Omara Atubo has said the Langi have resolved to fight the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) rebels and repulse them from the sub-region.
"LRA declared war on Langi...and we the Langi are also declaring war on them and we shall win. Since we have unanimously agreed, armed with guns, spears, axes and pangas, the rebels will be driven off," he said.
Atubo was addressing Lango students at Kyambogo university recently.
