 Ugandan rebel leader Joseph Kony will not attend the signing of a peace treaty with the government in southern Sudan later this week. Mr Kony, leader of the Lord's Resistance Army, is reportedly too sick to attend. The rebel leader has been in hiding for years and never attended peace talks with the government. Mr Kony feared he would be arrested and handed over to the International Criminal Court in The Hague. The ICC wants to try him for war crimes. In two decades of fighting, the LRA earned a bloody reputation for its use of violence against the civilian population. |
