Article-Summary: 

Lawmakers in the East African Legislative Assembly have called on government to abide by Parliament's resolution, which declared the northern Uganda a disaster area. Addressing a news briefing on Friday at Parliament, the Legislators from Uganda read a statement signed by their counterparts from Kenya and Tanzania. They said that declaring the areas that have borne the brunt of the Kony-led insurgency since 1988 would lead to intervention from the international community.
