THE signing of a peace deal to end one of Africa's longest wars will happen even if the rebel leader does not show up, the Ugandan government said yesterday.
Lord's Resistance Army leader Joseph Kony and four other top LRA leaders are in hiding after being indicted by the International Criminal Court in The Hague on atrocities charges. But court officials have no power of arrest, and Uganda has promised not to turn over the suspects if they sign a peace deal.

"Uganda would like to see Joseph Kony signing the final agreement but if he fails to turn up we will accept someone authorised by him and LRA leadership to sign on his behalf," said a government negotiator.
