Museveni rejects Hague LRA trial

Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni says leaders of the rebel Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) should face local justice, rather than trial at The Hague.

Three top LRA officials including leader Joseph Kony face prosecution at the International Criminal Court (ICC).

The LRA insists that the war crimes indictments are lifted before signing a deal to end the long, brutal conflict.

The 22-year rebellion in northern Uganda has left thousands dead and nearly two million displaced.
