Ambassador Lanier host DR Congo counterpart over LRA
U.S. Ambassador to Uganda Jerry P. Lanier hosted the U.S. Chiefs of Mission from the Democratic Republic
of Congo, the Central African Republic, and the Republic of South Sudan for a
two-day conference on U.S. support to the regional effort to counter the Lord’s
Resistance Army (LRA). The conference was also attended by senior
officials from Washington and AFRICOM and included consultations with senior
Ugandan officials. The event provided a valuable opportunity for
participants to plan and coordinate U.S. support across the region, as it
relates to security partnerships, civilian protection, humanitarian assistance,
and encouraging defections and reintegration of former fighters.
