The South African, Mr. Buvimilie, Must realize that it is the "Government" of the
day..i.e Yoweri Museveni's NRM Military dictatorship which MUST sort of take the
appropriate initiative to talk peace with the rebels. Not the so called LRA
The People of Uganda should ( and rightly so ) blame the dictatorship in Kampala for
it's policy of promoting wars as an alternative to engaging in dialougue to solve
national problems.Museveni's policies have lead to tremendous suffering of our people
for now close to 20 years.

THE South African government has criticised the LRA leader, Joseph Kony, and his
rebels for the atrocities committed in northern Uganda.
South African high commissioner Vilakazi Bavumile urged Kony to end killing innocent
citizens.
Bavumile said this on Tuesday during the commemoration of South Africa's National Day
in Kampala.
He said northern Uganda, like other parts of the country, deserved peace and security.
"The people of South Africa, in solidarity with the people of Uganda, call upon the
LRA to enter into negotiations with the Government of Uganda to end the violence that
has affected millions of people in the north," Bavumile said.
