THE Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) rebels have rejected food from the World Food Programme (WFP) for fear of being poisoned by the government, reports Dennis Ojwee.
The UN-OCHA representative in Gulu said this while meeting the Canadian ambassador to the UN, Allan Rock, who visited Gulu on Tuesday.

Rock said the humanitarian crisis in northern Uganda was alarming and needed serious international intervention.
"I see that the level of the humanitarian crisis in the north needs combined intervention. We should all join to fight these problems," Rock said.
The LC5 vice-chairman, Paul Ojok-Kerubino, said there were 49 internally displaced people's camps in Gulu district.

Rock said the government needed to prepare for the after-war effects when Joseph Kony, the LRA leader, and his commanders came out of the bush.
