The LRA continued to pose a threat to peace processes in southern Sudan. Nevertheless, peace talks were held between the LRA negotiators and the Ugandan government in June of 2006. The Vice President, Riek Machar, paid Kony $20,000 and gave him stocks of food to ensure that the rebels would leave Sudan without plundering any more villages. The vice president believed that the LRA fighters left southern Sudan into the DRC.1 A peace talk was held in southern Sudan but the LRA rebels had yet to assemble in designated area.2 Nevertheless, the LRA rebels did not leave southern Sudan. The Sudan government was said to provide support to the LRA.
