Mr van de Geer spoke at the first London Barefoot Peace Walk hosted by International Refugee Trust. The event aimed to raise awareness of the atrocities caused by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) in the Central African region. Mr van de Geer gave a history of the LRA, placed it within the context of the region and explained the EU and international community's current role in the region.
IRT's CEO, Adrian Hatch, has just returned from southern Sudan where he spoke to many refugees from DR Congo about the situation with the LRA. Violent attacks seem to be decreasing and there are rumours that Joseph Kony is temporarily recuperating else where. None of the refugees thought the LRA atrocities were over: almost all were certain that violence would surge again. Please visit IRT's website for more LRA updates and to find out about Barefoot Peace Walk 2010.
