KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) - Uganda's president said Tuesday he might grant amnesty to a rebel leader wanted by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity.
President Yoweri Museveni agreed Monday to begin peace talks in neighboring Sudan with the Lord's Resistance Army rebel group. If those talks go well, Museveni promised the group's leader, Joseph Kony, would not be arrested.
"President Yoweri Museveni has declared that the Uganda government will grant total amnesty to the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army, Joseph Kony, despite the International Criminal Court indictment, if he responds positively to the talks with government in Juba, southern Sudan and abandons terrorism," presidential spokesman Onapito Ekomoloit said in a statement.
