Uganda, DRC, Sudan: An Uncertain Alliance Against the LRA

Uganda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and southern Sudan agreed to jointly fight the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) should peace talks with the rebel group collapse, a Ugandan military spokesman said June 5. The LRA is unlikely to agree to a peace deal and would probably flee rather than risk defeat, while joint operations could result in as much fighting among the allied forces as it would against the LRA.
