  LRA Conflict in Northern Uganda and Southern Sudan, 2002 (Human Rights Watch Press release, )
Wary of the Sudan government’s intentions, the LRA began moving from its bases south of Juba to Upper Talanga, a remote area of the Imatong Mountains on the Sudan/Uganda border, sometime in 2001.
An LRA soldier was killed and five LRA injured as the Sudan government responded to the attack, and the internally displaced fled to Juba.
The LRA’s behavior has changed since it left Uganda in 2000: in previous years, the LRA carried out mutilations of those it believed to be government informers and others, and in 2002 this no longer seemed to be the case.
