Gov't minister sets terms for peace deal, names alleged spoilers in Acholi Diaspora
Ugandan international affairs minister Henry Okello Oryem said yesterday that the Ugandan government will not return to Ri-kwangba to sign a final peace deal until after mediators meet with LRA leader Joseph Kony and confirm his presence there. Since a failed signing attempt in Ri-kwangba on April 10th mediators and Acholi leaders have been in dialogue with Kony in an attempt to set another date for him to sign.
This weekend Oryem also gave some insight into members of the Acholi Diaspora who allegedly advised Kony against signing the peace deal last month. He said that Owiny Omoya, an Acholi living in Europe, and Alex Oloya, a relative of Kony, had promised Kony resources to continue fighting and accused the LRA negotiation team of a conspiring to have Kony arrested and sent to the International Criminal Court.
