Kony is the leader of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) rebel group that is to blame for thousands of deaths and child abductions in Central Africa. He considers himself a spiritual medium and uses tactics from the ‘Holy Spirit’ to command his soldiers. Kony had stated, in a previous interview, that his goal was to cleanse the Acholi people and if they did not support him, then they must be killed. He supports this statement through biblical references.
For over 20 years, Kony has abducted thousands of children to become fighters or sex slaves to continue his campaign of terror (murder, rape, torture, or sexual enslavement). These abducted children are to be a part of the LRA rebel group and must follow strict rules and rituals or they will be killed. The LRA started abducting children and mutilating civilians in Uganda but have since been pushed out of Uganda and into the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and South Sudan.
The International Criminal Court has charged Kony on 33 counts and 12 crimes against humanity in 2005. Uganda’s army has formed a campaign to find and kill Kony with the help of former LRA members and the advisory role of US special forces.
