Ugandan Anglican Bishop says war has ended despite flare ups

Posted by Kendall Harmon

(ACNS) Anglican Bishop Nelson Onono-Onweng of Northern Uganda has told a delegation of the World Council of Churches (WCC) to the region that a rebel war with the government is finally over despite some recent reports of flare ups.

"We are now in a different environment. We are now in a situation of rebuilding lives. We are in the process of reconstructing this place," Onono-Onweng told the WCC group that is part of a program to visit situations of conflict in different parts of the world.

Still, other church leaders the delegation met said they are concerned the rebel Lord's Resistance Army led by Joseph Kony is delaying the signing of a final peace agreement.

If anyone has interest in learning more about this terrible situation, a book just came out titled “First Kill Your Family” that is about the LRA in Uganda and how they fight by forcing children into its army and service. They are merely butchers led by a maniac with a type of religious charisma.
