LRA Wants Power Sharing Agreement, Two National Armies for Uganda
The LRA delegation has called for a power sharing agreement with the Ugandan military as the next step in peace negotiations, calling for the UPDF to control of the southern and western portions of Uganda and LRA and other rebel groups to take charge of north and eastern Uganda. The demand is included in a position paper the LRA released on Wednesday that included a list of proposals for comprehensive solutions to the conflict in northern Uganda. Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni vehemently rejected rebel proposals for power sharing earlier in the negotiations.
