The army believes that the LRA (Lord's Resistance Army) is near the end of its existence. The areas where the LRA long had bases in northern Uganda, and southern Sudan, are now regularly patrolled by troops, and LRA groups kept on the run. As a result, more and more LRA leaders and troops are surrendering. While LRA leader Joseph Kony is staying in southern Sudan, where he apparently still has some friends in the Sudanese army.
