THE Acholi traditional chiefs have said they will invite President Yoweri Museveni, to Gulu district, to assure the Acholi that he will work with them like other tribes in Uganda.
This was one of the resolutions made by the Acholi chiefs who gathered at a peace and reconciliation meeting with the 11 European Union (EU) ambassadors, on Tuesday at Gulu district council hall.
They said they feared that the president may hate them and ignore the development of their war wrecked land following his poor performance in the presidential election.
The italian ambassador Lugi Napolitano led the EU team to the meeting.
The chiefs were headed by Rwot Onen Acana of Payira.
The ambassadors were escorted by the Gulu Resident District Commissioner, Musa Ecweru.
