The peace broker between the government and the Lords Resistance Army (LRA), Ms Betty Bigombe, has a got a new co-mediator, Mr Jacob Frydenlund.
This was revealed by the Gulu LC5 Chairman, Col. Walter Ochora Odoch, during a radio talk show on Mega Fm on Saturday over the weekend.
Frydenlund, a Norwegian Ambassador, is known for his efforts to push forward the apparently stalled peace process in northern Uganda.
Ochora said the ambassador who has already been in Uganda for one week has been seconded by the International Community to work with Bigombe for a month.
Ochora appealed to the rebels to take advantage of the expertise of Frydenlund to enter into meaningful dialogue and end the 19-year-old insurgency.
"This is the man who was instrumental in bringing truce between the Israelis and the Palestinians. You should take advantage of his presence in the north. He is here to listen to you and monitor the peace process on behalf of the international community," Ochora said.
Bigombe could not be reached for a comment.
