Uganda's Lords Resistance Army, a rebel group opposed to President Yoweri Museveni's regime, is calling for more transparency during the upcoming Presidential elections. This was revealed through a press statement issued by its peace team leader, Justine Labeja Nyeko. Nyeko is worried that, “Despite the ritual of elections, the army state in Uganda has not won political legitimacy."
I think this is generally a good move. The LRA might be guilty of horrible crimes, but for them support free and fair elections is a step in the right direction. It is not known for sure, what the LRA hopes to gain from the elections; given that their rebel group will not participate.
In the past, the opposition leader, Kizza Bisigye has hinted a willingness to bring an amicable resolve to the LRA question.
