| (Xinhua) -- Uganda's rebel group the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) has asked for peace talks with the government to end its 12-year-long insurgency, a government official has said. The State Minister for Internal Affairs Matia Kasaija was quoted by the state-owned New Vision daily on Tuesday as saying that the rebels, through the Amnesty Commission, had sent a memorandum to the government indicating its willingness to peace talks with the government. "The government has agreed to the peace talks but the date and venue is yet to be decided," Kasaija told the legislators on the defense and internal affairs committee on Monday. |
