>The northern region intelligence chief, Lt. Col. Charles Otema, told The Monitor yesterday that operations had resumed against the Lords Resistance Army rebels after the signing of a memorandum of understanding failed during the truce.

>�Our soldiers have already began operations against the rebels until they decide to come out and surrender,� Otema said in Gulu yesterday.
>
>During the 18-day ceasefire, no meeting between either the mediating team of the government and LRA took place. Hours before the truce expired, the chief government mediator, Ms Betty Bigombe, appealed to the rebels to take advantage of the truce and sign a total ceasefire deal, which was earlier hampered by last minute hitches on New Year�s Eve.
>
>But Bigombe, who took time off her World Bank job in Washington, was still optimistic that talks were still on course and the deal would be signed soon.
>
>�The talks are still on, we are in touch with the rebels and there is no doubt that we will sign a ceasefire deal,� Bigombe told reporters.
>
>During the 64 days of government ceasefire, Bigombe met the LRA teams nine times and most of the members of the LRA peace team, including its leader Brig. Sam Kolo and Onen Kamdulu have since surrendered to UPDF The head of the government peace team, Dr Ruhakana Rugunda, who met with Brig. Kolo in Gulu on Tuesday, said there was no immediate ceasefire renewal.
>
>�The commander in chief will review the situation and take appropriate action on the ceasefire but for now fighting will continue as we work with Brigadier Kolo and his colleagues to accelerate the peace process,� Rugunda said. It is not yet clear which turn the talks sponsored by the United Nations, Britain, Netherlands and Norway will take after fighting resumes.

>This is the highest talks ever got after Bigombe�s peace initiative with LRA�s leader Joseph Kony in 1993 collapsed after President Museveni accused the rebels of using the ceasefire to plan for more attacks.
>
>This comes at a time when the International Criminal Court is investigating the LRA over crimes against humanity in the long running conflict. The LRA has fought President Yoweri Museveni�s government since 1988.
