The LRA delegation yesterday threw out a carefully-drafted document for an extension to the landmark August 26th cessation of hostilities truce. The parties at the Juba talks had converged to finalize the extension, but trouble began when the LRA delegation's legal advisor Ayena Odongo, who had been away from the negotiations, returned and demanded a review of the draft document. Capt. Paddy Ankunda, the government delegation's spokesman, said in an interview yesterday that the LRA wants the government to reformulate the whole agreement, which is totally unacceptable to Kampala and the mediator. According to the draft, the LRA fighters scattered east of River Nile have been given one week to assemble at Owiny-ki-Bul, one of two South Sudan assembly points, upon signing the agreement and also charged the SPLA to provide ample security for the trekking forces. Ankunda said the rebels did not raise any objections to this provision but continue to question the status of the UPDF presence in South Sudan. Read more at The Monitor.
