NABANGA, Sudan (AP) - Mediators from southern Sudan arrived at the border with Congo on Friday for talks with a rebel group that has led a brutal 19-year insurgency in Uganda.
The 126-member delegation includes local officials and relatives of shadowy rebel leader Joseph Kony, who is under indictment by the International Criminal Court. Fighters in his Lord's Resistance Army are known for abducting thousands of children, forcing them to become fighters, servants or concubines.
The group has killed thousands of civilians and forced more than 1 million to flee. Its political agenda is unclear, although Kony has called for Uganda to be governed according to the Bible's Ten Commandments.
