Sudan violates treaty with Uganda on LRA
2004-01-14
The army spokesman has accused Sudan of violating a protocol it signed with Uganda about two years ago. The agreement authorised the Sudanese military to occupy former bases of the Lord’s Resistance Army rebels in southern Sudan. "[They] did not occupy the bases [from] where we flushed the LRA as we had earlier agreed," Maj. Shaban Bantariza said by telephone yesterday. The camps include Bin Rwot, Lubang tek, Lara and Kempacho. Bantariza said yesterday that the rebels are now trying to retreat to those camps. "For the last three weeks the LRA commanders have been trying to withdraw back to Sudan running away from our attacks on them," the spokesman said. "They are trying to run and survive as individuals but the fear is that they might get re-armed because they still have caches there."

#1  I wouldn't include the Sudanese military on the short list of the world's crack miltary outfits. They seem to have the self-preservation angle down to a tee, though.
