SUBJECT:
The latest negotiations between the government and the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) to end the eighteen-year civil war.
SIGNIFICANCE:
The government's latest peace proposals were delivered to the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) on January 10. However, the LRA is still to respond and the government could undermine the peace process by attacking rebel positions. Furthermore, there is additional uncertainty over whether the January 9 Sudanese peace deal -- potentially marking the end of Sudanese backing for the LRA -- could affect the conflict.
