Hey everyone,

Looks like the 4 countries affected by the LRA have decided to take some action…a joint brigade between Uganda, Sudan, Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of Congo, backed by the African Union, is going to “go after” the LRA rebels. It is believed that this will be a mobile brigade that can be used by the AU in “times of trouble,” such as going after the LRA, and other groups like al-Qaeda in Mali and Mauritania.

Seems like a legitimate possible solution to me, but its crazy that it’s taken 20+ years to get to this point! Maybe now that all of these countries have united to fight against the LRA, something can finally be done about it, but our discussions have shown that things are a little less cut and dry than they may seem. What do you guys think?

Thanks for this article Shaheen. It is good news to hear, but agreed- a shame it took this long to finally get a coalition going in Africa on this subject.
Lets hope this brigade lives up to expectations.
