Bring Jopesh Kony to Justice

Additional Information

Jopesh Kony Joseph Rao Kony is the head of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a Ugandan guerrilla group. The LRA turned on its own supporters to purify the Acholi people and turn Uganda into a theocracy. He proclaims to be a spokesperson of God and a spirit medium to the Holy Spirit.

He ordered the abduction of children to become child-sex slaves and child soldiers. An estimated 66,000 children became soldiers and two million people have been internally displaced since 1986. In 2005, Kony was indicted for war crimes by the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands, but has evaded capture.
