The Ugandan government has rejected the new LRA demands that the UPDF be reduced in size to allow space for integration of the rebel forces in the national army. "We are demanding for a restructuring of the armed forces and the formation of a force that will take up some of the members of the UPDF, the LRA, and any other army or group such as the ADF and PRA if they so exist," the spokesperson of LRA peace delegation said.

He also said the government cannot reduce the size of the UPDF because its strength is determined by the needs for national security. Read more at The Monitor.
