According to an eyewitness, the rebel force had cut off lips of five people in Faradje as a warning for them not to speak ill of the rebels. To deter and suppress the activities of the rebel force, a joint offensive has been set up by armies of Uganda, South Sudan and DR Congo. The joint offensive was thought to have established after Joseph Kony, the leader of the rebel force, had refused to sign a peace treaty in mid-December.
Uganda’s government had been into several negotiations with the LRA, hosted by the South Sudanese government. However, Mr. Kony is reluctant to come to any agreement before arrest warrants against him and his associate by the International Criminal Court are first dropped. The LRA leader and his associates has been a wanted criminal for several war crimes and crimes against humanity.
