Southern Sudanese President Discusses LRA
In an interview today with allAfrica.com, southern Sudanese president (and vice-president of Sudan) Salva Kiir discussed the challenges southern Sudan faces in rebuilding after decades of war. He cited the continued presence of LRA rebels in the region a threat to security and redevelopment.
Kiir also urged LRA leader Joseph Kony to return to Uganda, lay down his arms, and negotiate a settlement with the Ugandan government. However, he advocated joint Sudan/Uganda military operations beyond the Red Line to pursue him if Kony failed to negotiate. Read more of the interview here.
