Resolve Uganda issues statement as final peace agreement could be just days away
With the possibility of a final peace agreement at hand, Resolve Uganda issued a statement yesterday calling on the international community to see that the agreement gets signed and to help ensure its implementation.
"To ensure that the Ugandan government implements the agreement and that the LRA comply, the international community has a critical role to play," says Resolve Uganda Executive Director Michael Poffenberger. A press statement last week by the U.S. State Department committing to help implement the FPA is a welcomed sign. "The U.S. and others who have helped give birth to this agreement can't just walk away now; they have to nurture it and help it survive. Nearly half of all peace agreements collapse within five years of their signing."
