Before our next Peace and Conflict Update is released on the IC website, here’s a peek at what will be a main topic:

Dr. Riek Machar, Chief Negotiator of the Peace Talks between Joseph Kony’s LRA and the Ugandan government, had this to say about the negotiations - “The LRA delegation has assured me that Kony is in Ri-Kwangba and he is ready to sign the peace deal on Thursday. As mediators we have done everything that could be done to make sure the two sides agree to sign the final peace agreement. Let us wait and see what happens on Thursday.”

With Kony close to signing the agreement, peace is closer than ever before. We’ll find out tomorrow.
