President Yoweri Museveni has called for the strict implementation of the principles of border policy to resolve the conflict between Sudan and South Sudan, use the international practice to solve the oil charges and follow the Nairobi accord to solve the issue of the marginalized groups in Abyei, Kordafan and Blue Nile.
Museveni also urged the United Nations Security Council to hold people accountable in implementing agreements to solve conflicts.
Museveni was meeting the UN Secretary General Ban Ki – Moon at the sidelines of the second International Conference on Somalia, held at the Istanbul Convention Centre.
The two leaders also discussed the situation in Somalia during which the President called for more support to Somalia in relief aid, infrastructure repair and building strong pillars of the state. He pledged to provide 300 dedicated guard forces to provide security for the UN operations in Somalia.
On the issue of LRAs Kony, Museveni appealed to the United Nations and to the United States of America to help supply surveillance and mobility equipment, night vision equipment, including airlifts and helicopters.
“We captured Kony’s commander because they decided to communicate by radio. That is how we got them quickly. Initially they had abandoned all means of communications,” he said.
The UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon hailed Museveni for his commitment in the fight against Kony and for the recent capture of one of Kony’s senior commanders, adding that the United Nations will do anything to assist in dealing with the LRA.
