Joachim Chissano, former President of Mozambique and United Nations special envoy to Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) affected areas in Uganda, was in Uganda over the weekend on a mission to lend his efforts to salvage the LRA-Uganda government peace process. He toured the conflict affected District of Gulu and spoke with LRA leader Joseph Kony. He had earlier held discussions with Yoweri Museveni, President of Uganda, but it is his discussions with Kony that were most significant. The LRA leader who has been chided for not signing the Final Peace Agreement told Chissano he would do so after meeting with Peace mediator Riek Machar, the Southern Sudan President. Chissano said he was arranging a meeting between the two. According to Chissano Kony would only sign the Final Peace Agreement after a meeting with Machar and a Uganda Government Delegation at which details of the agreement would be clarified to him personally. He claims he needed personal clarification of some details he only had second hand information about. We hope that the next meeting will suffice.
