Central African Republic's government said Thursday that Joseph Kony, an accused war criminal and jungle gangster who kidnaps men, women and children, is believed to be in a town in the country's remote southeast and has been talking with the president, but U.S. officials and others expressed doubt that reported talks represent a breakthrough in efforts to bring him to justice.

Central African Republic government spokesman Gaston Mackouzangba said Thursday that Kony is believed to be in the town of Nzako. None of the groups searching for Kony reported any indication that Kony was really there.

"The president said he had spoken with Joseph Kony by telephone who wants to lay down his arms," Mackouzangba told The Associated Press. "The negotiations are ongoing."

The U.N. Security Council and the United States said Wednesday that the Lord’s Resistance Army’s decades-long reign of terror can be stopped if the international community helps the African Union capture fugitive warlord Joseph Kony and his henchmen.

“It must be stopped once and for all,” U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice said Wednesday. “Our goal of permanently ending the LRA threat is within reach, but it will require sustained regional leadership and international support.”
