In the last five weeks, LRA attacks on refugee camps killed about 125 people. The rebels have been reduced to living off such attacks, where they seek food, and captives to help carry it. The LRA leaders have been holding secret negotiations with the government. Apparently there is some hope that the LRA leadership can be split with offers of amnesty to some. The Ugandan army also believes that the LRA has been getting money and material aid from some tribal groups in the north, and these negotiations might result in LRA leaders coming up with names and evidence to back this up.
