Ugandan government and rebel troops have failed to reach a cease-fire agreement despite an offer by the guerrillas to stop fighting while talks are going on in Nairobi, rebel leader Yoweri Museveni said. Museveni’s Uganda National Resistance Army had proposed the truce to provide “a suitable atmosphere” for the talks. The Kampala regime has offered the guerrillas equal power on the ruling military council, an offer the rebels rebuffed. Museveni’s group also opposed representation on the council by small rebel factions.
