A Ugandan military spokesman today accused the LRA of being responsible for the abduction of 200 civilians in the DR Congo last month. These accusations come just one day after the chief mediator of Juba peace talks Reik Machar said that the rebel group had abducted 55 children in south Sudan in recent weeks. The LRA has terrorized communities throughout the region with abductions of innocent children and civilians for over a decade, but in past months verifying reports of and responsibility for abductions has proved difficult. If the latest reports are true, they raise further doubts about the commitment of the LRA and its leader Joseph Kony to the Juba peace process.
