*In My opinion!* Citizens, the move by German President to visit Northern Uganda must be welcomed by all peace loving citizens of Uganda and members of the International Community. The move stands in to stake contrast to that of the Leader of the British Commonwealth ( the Queen of England) who, while in Uganda, could not even think of visiting Northern Uganda to access for her self the suffering our people have been and continue to go through under Dictator Yoweri Museveni's NRM Military dictatorship.
That stated , it must be pointed out in no uncertain terms that if the Peace talks in Juba between the LRA and Museveni's Regime were to fail, Yoweri Museveni's NRM Military dictatorship must and should be entirely held responsible for such failure. As for the so called "integration" of LRA fighter's ..This will never happen... LRA Combatants are Freedom Fighters ..period!!!... and they have been rightly so Fighting an oppressive Dictator of Yoweri Museveni Kaguta, who for 22 years have been oppressing and subjugating the People of Uganda . We wish the German President well in his endeavor to help the people of Northern Uganda.

This was disclosed by German officials who visited Acholi Paramount Chief, David Onen Achana II in Gulu on Thursday. The Germans said President Kohler will arrive in the country on February 3 and hold discussions with the government before proceeding to Gulu. Dr. Steck Rainold, the Chief of Protocol said President Kohler will be interested in discussing "the reintegration of LRA ex-combatants if the peace talks yield results, resettlement of IDPs and the development of northern Uganda."

"It's on the side of the LRA to decide the next step but it is unfortunate that up to today, Kony has not met his peace team to discuss the deliberations from the just concluded consultation," Mr Buchholz said. He said despite the current initiatives, the international community would not accept impunity. This is against a backdrop of calls for seeking alternative means of justice to the International Criminal Court that has indicted LRA leaders.
