 RI-KWANGBA, Sudan (AP) - Officials gave conflicting reports about why Uganda's fugitive rebel leader did not sign a peace accord Thursday to end one of Africa's longest wars, raising doubts about the agreement's fate.
Rebels and negotiators had gathered in a jungle clearing waiting for Joseph Kony, leader of the vicious Lord's Resistance Army, to emerge from hiding and sign a deal to end the two decade-long insurgency.
A comprehensive deal will be a major breakthrough in pacifying the volatile region comprising northern Uganda, eastern Congo and southern Sudan.
