Museveni says Sudan waging war against him in N. Uganda
April 30, 2008 (KAMPALA) – The Ugandan president lashed out against the Sudanese government renewing accusations that Khartoum is seeking to destabilise his government. He further said that his army is not fighting the rebel LRA but the Sudanese army.
“Let me tell you that for the past 22 years we have been fighting with the Khartoum government but not Kony,” Yoweri Museveni said on Monday.
According to the Ugandan press Museveni told the leader of the Ugandan West Nile district “”I hear people talking of 20 years of conflict with Kony. I don’t want a narrow understanding of this affair. Our fight was not with Kony but with the Arabs of Khartoum who made a big mistake of underestimating us.”
When the National Resistance Army (NRA) took over power, he said, Sudan looked for puppets that could topple the Government and then fight on their behalf against the black people in South Sudan.
“Kony was in Sudan because they were trying to use him to overthrow my regime” he said.
“They (Sudanese) discovered that we were not the usual Black Africans. If you create problems for us we create more problems for you.” he added.
The Ugandan President said defeating Kony and the Khartoum government has made it possible for Ugandans to trade freely in South Sudan.
He further warned that in case the LRA leader refuses to sign the negotiated peace deal he would fight him.
“If he does not come out peacefully, then we shall deal with him. I can assure you that Sudan can no longer attack Uganda through Kony,” He added.
In the past the Ugandan government accused regularly Khartoum of supplying arms, food and to shelter Kony to fight his government. But Kampala had stopped these accusation following the signing of a peace deal between Sudanese government and the former rebel SPLA in January 2005.
However in November 2006, Uganda renewed its allegations saying that Khartoum had created “Sudan LRA” and ordered it to attack civilians in the region.

Thank God he finally understands fate behind so-called LRA. So, I guess work with South Sudan hand in hand in fighting these criminals is only way out!

In fact those evil thugs of the LRA supported by the NIF must be hunted down and destroyed forever to bring peace and stability to both northern Uganda and South Sudan.The government of South Sudan has wasted a lot of resources to facilitate a peaceful transition for the LRA from unnecessary war to the a normal life in their beautiful country, Uganda, but the LRA has now opted to stay in the bush at the orders of the NIF in Khartoum. So Uganda and S. Sudan must cooperate to stop this devil possessed mad terrorist, Kony from disturbing peace in the region.

It really makes sense this time. This is an objective way of looking at this issue between Arabs and their neighbors.
These proxy forces and their sponsors must be dealt with very aggressively this time and that is the only language Arabs understand.
Just keep your spirit Museveni and you will succeed in dealing with the enemies of Black Africans.

Look at those idiotic Southerners who are intending to support the speech of Museveni,you guys are crazy and totally out of sense,when did you come to realise that Museveni ambition is aiming to help Southern Sudan.before some of you were shedding tears against him considering him as a killer of Bor hero (Garang) also others were complaining that Equatorians were taking part of LRA and attacking themselves in Equatoria,should you keep using your senseless opinions for truth some of you will end up negatively and foolish for good.use your logic rather than suggesting wrong beliefs against someone.you better get to understand that those LRA were encouraged By Sadist Beshir as the result of Museveni being working hand in hands with Southern Sudan to achieve their victory.
shame on you guys

due to the failure of the Uganda Lord Resistance to signed the peace deal the governmet of , it is now the time for the governmet of southern sudan to look for the other alternative then negotiation .
that mean there are so many ways to remove Joseph Kony and his army out of South sudan border.
we also knew that Dr Machar had alots to do for us , he can not keep concertrate for one resons. please leave Joseph Kony alone and come for designing the development of South Sudan.
the Uganda governmet and government of South Sudan Should take action about Kony as they all knew that Joseph Kony had denied to sign the peace agreement.as the world had witness that he had killed twos deputied and others seniors who are suporting the peace .
wake up African and take action please.
