Sudan MPs urges end to Ugandan army presence
November 22 2006 at 03:17PM Khartoum - The Sudanese
parliament has called for an end to a deal allowing the Ugandan army to pursue
the rebel Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) in south Sudan, media reported on
Wednesday.
"The National Assembly issued a resolution calling for non-renewal of the
current military protocol with the Ugandan People's Defence Force (UPDF) in
south Sudan," the Sudan Vision daily said.
The protocol signed in 2002 between Khartoum and Kampala gives the Ugandan army
the right to carry out operations against the LRA in parts of southern Sudan
the rebel group uses as rear bases.
The parliament bill also recommended joint forces comprising the regular
Sudanese army and former southern rebels from the Sudan People's Liberation
Army should be given enhanced means to control the border.
