Ugandan rebels 'prepare for war' Uganda's rebel leader Joseph Kony is reportedly preparing a new offensive after refusing to sign a peace deal. Diplomats say his Lord's Resistance Army is forcibly recruiting fresh fighters and acquiring new arms in neighbouring countries. His fighters are reported to have attacked South Sudanese forces, killing 13 troops and seven civilians. Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni and the region's armies have this week all suggested taking military action. The LRA is believed to be digging up arms caches and resuming their usual practice of abducting civilians, who are then press-ganged into acting as fighters, porters or concubines. This is said to be taking place in a large area encompassing parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic and Sudan. Around 1,000 new recruits have been added to around 600 existing combatants. There are also reports that Chadian rebels have been seen offering them fresh supplies of weaponry... news.bbc.co.uk
