Kony, Otti, Odyambo, Lukwiya, Abudema, Opio Makas, Ocan Bunia, Angola, Lotiba, and Labalpiny were all on air.
Kony;
Has sent out several small fighting groups. Among them is Odyambo’s group, which he (Kony) has ordered to make sure he intercepts and ambushes UPDF without fail in areas of what he called “their former garden where one Okot used to cultivate.â€
He later directed Odyambo to send some soldiers to him as soon as possible.
He repeated his anxiety to meet Makas immediately stating it clearly that situation might worsen if Makas is destroyed before reaching him with the items and people he crossed with from Uganda.
He ordered Lotiba to make sure he meets Makas by 0800hrs today so they hurry to join him in his defence.
In reaction to Lukwiya’s report, Kony directed him never to stay and continue communicating when the enemy is advancing towards him.
Otti instructed Angola that he doesn’t want to hear that Ojara has separated from him.
Ocan Bunia closed down after he failed to read Kony clearly.
Lukwiyal reported that he was seriously being followed and attacked by UPDF. That some good number of his people have already separated from him and closed down immediately.
Angola reported that Ojara has joined him. He revealed that it was CACA who attacked Minakulu and looted an assortment of drugs that can help them. He also revealed that he attacked Atine and the results were not bad. He did not elaborate. That one of his soldiers escaped.
Lotiba reported that his enemy is disturbing him and he could not stay on air. He promised to come back later.
Comments;
Kony seems to be preparing for his final showdown with UPDF. It seems he cannot runaway or change location before he meets Makas to reinforce him with mainly food, ammo and drugs. This has forced him to put up a defence sending fighting groups to engage and ambush the advancing UPDF especially the one following Makas.
Kony has a habit of putting up a defence and then sneak out without the knowledge of his commanders in the defence. He will stay about a kilometre plus ‘with two or three soldiers who sit in a few metres from his location to hear him if he wants their services. He does all this for survival to avoid involving himself in any fight and stay in contact with his commanders on a walk talkie.
Â
Action taken and recommendations;
UPDF should put into consideration Kony’s survival instinct to see how they can trap him by sending some intercepting forces in several directions as he is believed to run long distances whenever he hears the first bullet on his defence.

Â
Comments;
Kony seems to be worried about LRA staying in Uganda in big numbers. He thinks that they can easily defect if pressed by UPDF especially now that most of them are hearing commercial radio programmes where the defectors are participating.
He may also want to meet them to discuss the way forward after the Sudan Government changed their official stand on LRA.
