LRA delegation repeats that ICC arrest warrants are main obstacle to peace

Speaking to Voice of America, the LRA technical adviser David Matsanga has reiterated that the ICC arrest warrants against its top leadership are the main obstacle to finding a lasting peace to the northern Uganda conflict. The rebels also blame Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the chief prosecutor of the ICC of bias and of being involved in a calculated attempt to derail the adjourned peace talks. "We want to make it very clear that the position of the Lord’s Resistance Army on the question of the ICC is that it was a flawed process. It was a flawed process in that the prosecutor only investigated one side; he did not investigate all the sides that were involved in the conflict...Ugandans are saying no, this peace process cannot be confused. We want the peace process to be concluded," Matsanga said.
