Kampala, Mar 2, 2008 / 02:05 am (CNA).- The Catholic Archbishop of Ugulu has praised the peace agreement between the government and the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) as a sure sign of lasting peace, Fides news agency reports.

“This is a great outcome and we are confident that soon there will be an all-inclusive peace agreement signed,” Archbishop John Baptist Odama said.

The 20-year war in northern Uganda has left over 100,000 dead and has forced 2 million people into refugee camps.

Members of the Community of Saint Egidio, a Catholic peace-making organization, joined representatives of Tanzania and South Africa, the former President of Mozambique, as well as a special UN envoy in the mediation efforts that began in July 2006. The efforts were led by south Sudan’s vice-president, Riek Machar.

I agree and go one step further. I continue to pray that Kony and the others find a true conversion to the real Jesus Christ. I pray they overcome their self centered Messiah delusion and come to know the real Jesus Christ and that they dedicate their lives to Him.
