Another Delay in the Peace Agreement

Kony did not sign the peace agreement yesterday. The international court has a warrant for his arrest and he wants the peace agreement to exempt him from being tried in the world court. They think that he is hiding somewhere in the Central African Republic. He is afraid to come out and sign the agreement because he believes he will be captured and taken to the Hague for trial--he certainly deserves it for all of the atrocities that he has committed.

The not signing the peace treaty discourages the northern Ugandans because they want this war to be over and done with so that they can rebuild their communities and their lives. While it is true that there has not really been fighting in the area for several years and that people are leaving the IDP camps and trying to reestablish their lives, they would like to have the security of a peace agreement. I would ask that you would keep these people in your prayers and that Kony signs the peace agreement. You can read about the latest delay at the BBC website.
