Otunnu never protested against LRA

SIR — At the resumption of the peace talks in Juba, news reports quoted LRA delegate David Nyekorach Matsanga as saying that the LRA should be removed from list of terrorist organisations so that its supporters can move around easily.

He said LRA supporters like Olara Otunnu want to come and participate in the talks but cannot because of fear of being labelled terrorists! When he was UN Under Secretary for Children and Armed Conflict, Otunnu hardly raised a finger against the LRA and its atrocities against children in northern Uganda!

Now we know why he blatantly accuses Museveni’s government of committing what he calls ‘genocide’ in Acholi. It was not because of his love for the Acholi but to serve Kony’s atrocious agenda.
