May 19, 2006: UN Urged to Expand Mandate of Forces in Sudan
by: Paul
A report issued by Refugees International (RI) calls attention to the intensification of LRA activity in southern Sudan, which it says is ¡°impeding humanitarian access, slowing the ability of refugees and displaced people to return home, and causing new displacement and refugee outflows.¡±
The report recommends that the UN expand the mandate of the UN Mission in Sudan (UNMIS) to include the protection of civilians from the LRA. UNMIS¡¯s present mandate only includes overseeing the implementation of a peace deal between the central Sudanese government and the SPLM that recently ended decades of civil war in southern Sudan. Efforts to rebuild the region are being severely undercut by LRA activity. Read more at The Sudan Tribune.

Are we here talking of the some LRA reminants numbering 120 , as per Museveni? Now we hear the some 'LRA rebels" are creating havoc in The Sudan!
