Is
the Messiah on the run? Is this why
we want to press hard for peace?
As
LRA slaughters Langis in Uganda, it is reported that the bloodthirsty thugs are enjoying
more blood in Sudan than in Uganda. All supporters of Kony and
LRA, may the innocent Langi blood haunt you!
SPLA, Kony Men Clash In Sudan
KAMPALA—
Fierce fighting has erupted in southern Sudan
between the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/
Army (SPLM/A) and Uganda’s
Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) rebels, a senior SPLA official told IRIN on
Wednesday.
George Riek Machar, the
SPLM/A spokesman in the Ugandan capital, Kampala,
said scuffles broke out after the LRA ambushed an SPLM/A position near the
front line with Sudanese government forces. “We fought back and chased
them out,” he told IRIN.
“We lost two men when they brought reinforcements for a counterattack,
but we have since taken some prisoners.”
Machar said the LRA had been killing civilians and
looting food and cattle in the area. He said pursuit of the group was part of
increased SPLM/A pressure on the LRA in the run-up to the expected peace deal
with the Sudanese government.
“The LRA are killing
more people in Sudan than in Uganda. All the displacement near the
border is because of them. The SPLM/A would very much like to finish them once
and for all,” he said
“Once the peace deal is in place, our full attention will turn to
the LRA,” he said.
