Rebel leaders to be relocated from Sudan

    NAIROBI
    Eight of the 24 top commanders of the rebel Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), including its leader Joseph Kony, are to be relocated later this month from Sudan to countries of their choice, the semi-official 'New Vision' newspaper reported on Thursday. It said the eight have already been separated from their fighters and captives in camps south of Juba city. The paper also said that at least 200 captives in Sudan, most of them girls, will be the first batch to be brought to Uganda. "The return will be in phases," it said. The move follows a peace agreement signed in Nairobi recently between the presidents of Uganda and Sudan.
