Contact Bigombe, Donors Tell LRA

Four of Uganda's main foreign donors have issued an unprecedented direct appeal to the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) to contact urgently the mediator of stalled peace talks, officials said on Thursday.
In a radio message being broadcast throughout the northern region 18 times a day, the US, Britain, the Netherlands and Norway are asking LRA leaders to get in touch immediately with mediator Betty Bigombe.
It also announces the creation of a special radio monitoring post at which the rebels can pass a message to Bigombe to re-establish contact with her and salvage sinking hopes for a negotiated end to the conflict in the north.
The appeal began airing in English and the Luo tribal language on Wednesday over a local FM radio station in Gulu.
"We are in discussion with the Ugandan government about the peace effort but we would also like to impress upon you that it is vital that you re-establish contact so that the opportunity for peace talks is not lost.
The announcement, believed to be the first of its kind, begins and ends by identifying it as "a message to the LRA from the governments of Norway, the Netherlands, the UK and the United States of America."
Over the years the LRA has abducted some 20,000 children to serve as fighters or sex slaves.
