The cease-fire between Uganda and the LRA seemed to have broken down, fuelling fears that the war may restart. However, international mediation efforts in March by the UN (led by the Uganda envoy of the UN, former Mozambique President Joaquim Chissano) and the international NGO Pax Christi have been giving reasons to hope that this was rather a temporary set-up than a permanent collapse. New (informal) talks between the government and the LRA took place at the very end of March in Mombasa, reaching according to a report by Pax Christi “significant agreements” on extending the truce.

Project Preparation
The plan is to start work with a small 2-person team in June.
