<p>We have not been able to assess the veracity of reports that Joseph Kony and senior
members of the Lords Resistance Army are hiding in a Sudanese-controlled area of a
disputed enclave bordering the Central African Republic. However, we are aware of
reports that local authorities in south-eastern Central African Republic (CAR) have
been in contact with a contingent of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) who have expressed
an interest in surrendering.</p><p>The British Government condemns in the strongest
possible terms the atrocities carried out by the LRA. Although much reduced in numbers,
the LRA remains an unprincipled, violent threat to civilians in the heart of Africa.
The UK has consistently promoted a co-ordinated regional and international approach
to defeating the LRA. We continue to encourage the UN and African Union to implement
their counter-LRA strategies in full and bring Kony to justice.</p>
