Uganda’s military government and its guerrilla foes will sign a peace agreement Friday aimed at reuniting the war-divided country, Kenya’s President Daniel Arap Moi announced. Moi has been mediating in the talks between Uganda’s leader, Gen. Tito Okello, and the rebel National Resistance Army. The rebels began their insurgency in 1981 against President Milton Obote and continued fighting after Obote was ousted in a coup last July. The peace plan is believed to give both sides roughly equal shares of power pending elections.
