'The U.S. government has backed a planned military operation involving Uganda, Sudan and the SPLA to defeat the Lord's Resistance Army rebels in Uganda, Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The U.S. security advisor, Steve Hadley, met with President Museveni in Washington and assured him of U.S. cooperation in the operation.

Although Uganda-CAN welcomes high-level attention from the US government to the conflict in northern Uganda, we urge Steve Hadley and other U.S. officials to give greater attention and support to Betty Bigombe, Uganda's chief peace negotiator with the LRA, and initiatives aimed at bringing about a peaceful resolution to the conflict. Many in northern Uganda believe that only a peaceful resolution to this conflict will bring a lasting peace.'

The U.S. wants to intervene in the conflict in Northern Uganda in order to gain a strategic foothold in that part of Africa. This is part of the recolonization to secure resources process, whereby all major economic powers are once more stoking wars in Africa to benefit their own economies.
