Lord Resistance Army
Joseph Kony- Leader of the Lord Resistance Army
A group called the LRA is a brutal rebel group of abducted soldiers. A lot of the soldiers have been with the group for a decade or more, all abducted as children from northern Uganda. For their own survival they take advantage of whatever turmoil is affecting central Africa. They’re violent, abduct, murder, and loot their way across the porous borders of central Africa.
After losing regional support for his rebellion, Jospeh Kony the leader of LRA (Lord Resistance Army), started abducting children to fill in for his army. His rebellion was originally claimed to be seeking liberation, north of Uganda. Girls that are abducted are repeatedly raped as ‘wives’ of LRA offices, and the boys are forced to become brutal soldiers. Kony makes these children witness and watch terrible acts, such as murdering family members. This is a tactic, he uses to convince the kids, that there is nothing for them to go home to. Joseph Kony has kidnapped over 30,000 children to make his army stronger. Kony instructs all the members of LRA to abduct, threaten, destroy, and murder in the name of his spiritual power.
