    SUBJECT: UGANDA/DRC: OPERATION RUDIA II UPDATE (JUNE 1,
    2009)

    Classified By: P/E Chief Kathleen FitzGibbon for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d
    ).

    ¶1. (SBU) Summary: This cable is a periodic update on the
    regional military operation against the Lord's Resistance
    Army (LRA) known as Operation Rudia II. This report is not
    meant to provide an overarching narrative or polished
    analysis of the operation, but rather offers spot information
    gleaned in Uganda only, from credible U.S. Mission sources
    here. We recognize the regional scope of the operation and
    the fact that our sources may be limited in their knowledge
    and perspective on Rudia II. End Summary.

    ¶2. (S NF) Ugandan military operations on the ground continue
    to make steady progress. The Ugandan Peoples Defense Forces
    (UPDF) are actively pursuing LRA groups and has successfully
    laid ambushes, killing senior LRA commanders. Between May 18
    and 29, the UPDF killed 41 LRA fighters, including Brigadier
    General Cesar Achellam and Lt. Col. Okello Okuti. Six
    non-combatants were rescued during this period.

    ¶3. (C) The U.N. Mission in Congo (MONUC) office in Kampala
    confirmed that the World Food Program (WFP) has planned air
    drops of food in LRA-affected areas of northeastern
    Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). WFP says that the
    oncoming rainy season will make it difficult for larger
    aircraft to deliver food into Dungu. As a result, WFP had
    conducted several "test drops" of food by helicopter in and
    around Dungu. Similar operations will be conducted in
    Doruma, Bangadi, Duru, and Faradje. WFP reportedly
    coordinated with MONUC and the Congolese Armed Forces.
    However, the drops were not coordinated with the UPDF, which
    had reported it had found LRA carrying donor food near
    Faradje. REFCOORD met with WFP on June 1 to get more details
    and urge WFP to coordinate with the Ugandan military. We
    will report out on the issue septel.

    ¶4. (C) The contract of U.N. Special Envoy for LRA-Affected
    Areas Joachim Chissano expires on June 30 andwill not be
    renewed at his request. Nuno Tomas, Chissano's Kampala
    office director, said that LRA leader Joseph Kony shows no
    interest in signing the peace deal and that Chissano has many
    pressing commitments. Chissano would be available should
    Kony change his mind. Uganda's Minister of State for
    International Relations Henry Okello Oryem told us that the
    Ugandan Government accepts the move, but is concerned that
    northern Ugandans might perceive it as an indication that
    there is no chance for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
    Oryem said that the Government would reassure northerners
    and remind the LRA that Kony could call Ugandan President
    Yoweri Museveni if he decides to sign the peace agreement.
    Oryem also said that the Ugandan Government is concerned that
    Government of Southern Sudan Vice President Riek Machar might
    exploit Chissano's departure to try to re-open the peace
    process.

    ¶5. (C) XXXXXXXXXXXX an analyst XXXXXXXXXXX
     briefed the diplomatic community XXXXXXXXXXXX..
    She stated  that it had been "pretty clear" that the Juba Peace
    talks had  not been "going anywhere," and that Kony had not bee
     and was not now interested in peace. She recommended that the
    military operations continue with a focus on killing the
    senior LRA leadership and increasing efforts to protect the
    Congolese civilian population. She advocated a multi-lateral
    discourse on planning and increased MONUC capability, along
    with increased U.S. Government support, including planning
    support, intelligence, and logistics. She explained that
    Congolese President Kabila's internal problems, including
    opposition to the operation from eastern DRC
    parliamentarians, had been a problem, but that the lack of
    human rights abuses by the UPDF coupled with continued LRA
    depredations resulted in a positive perception of the UPDF
    presence among Congolese civilians. This has dissipated
    parliamentary opposition, according to Spiegel. (Comment:
    Spiegel, like most other non-governmental observers, publicly
    expresses surprise at the number of Ugandan troops still in
    the DRC and that the Ugandan troop strength has not been
    publicly discussed. We note that the Ugandan Government has
    deliberately (and successfully) kept quiet its troop strength
    and regular engagements with the LRA in order to keep a
    Congolese face on the operation. End Comment.)
