Kampala - THE joint military offensive against the Lord's Resistance Army rebels in the Garamba forest of the DR Congo was premature, the Seventh Day Adventist leader has said.
The Archbishop of the Adventist Church, Dr. John Luga Wani, said the Government should have continued to pursue the peace talks as the best means of ending the rebellion.
He, however, said the LRA rebels have terrorised and killed many people in the north and the neighbouring Sudan and the DR Congo.
"Though there has been some peace after the peace talks, signs indicate that the war may resume again in the north after the recent attacks on Kony's camps in Garamba," Wani said at a press conference at Kireka SDA headquarters in Kampala on Tuesday.
He appealed to the Government and the LRA rebels to seek dialogue and come to a possible compromise to end the war that has lasted over 20 years.
