KAMPALA, Jan 15 (Reuters) - Uganda's Lord's Resistance Army rebels said on Monday they want to leave assembly areas in south Sudan agreed under a truce and head back to Uganda in a move the army warned would restart the country's 20-year war.

"We are unwelcome in Sudan so they have to go back to Uganda," LRA spokesman Obonyo Olweny told Reuters by telephone from Nairobi. "We foresee that is the only logical option."
