The Lord’s Resistance Army in Sudan: A History and Overview (HSBA Working Paper 8)

The ongoing peace talks between the Government of Uganda and the Lord’s Resistance Army/Movement (LRA/M) in Juba, the capital of South Sudan, have created renewed international interest in the conflict in northern Uganda. While the negotiations have proved extremely difficult, they have opened up new channels of communication with the LRA. The talks have also allowed the affected population of Eastern and Western Equatoria, South Sudan, to voice their grievances against the LRA and raise questions about the conduct of the Uganda People’s Defence Force (UPDF) in Sudan. The Lord’s Resistance Army in Sudan: A History and Overview examines the military history of the LRA in Sudan, the current prospects for ending the conflict, and the main challenges facing the peace talks.
