The death of senior Ugandan rebel Vincent Otti could hamper peace talks aimed at ending the 20-year conflict, government minister Okello Oryem says.
Otti, second in command of the Lord's Resistance Army rebels, was reportedly killed by LRA commanders last year.
But his death was only officially confirmed by the LRA earlier this week.
"Now that he is dead it leaves a huge gap on the LRA's side," the minister for international affairs said ahead of the talks that are to resume on Monday.
The conflict has killed tens of thousands of people and uprooted some 2m people.
