Today, Uganda’s military has suspended its hunt for the
infamous warlord, Joseph Kony. The hunt for Kony has been suspended because the
rebels seized the Central African Republic’s power, which has led to little
cooperation between the rebels and the Ugandan military. Although the militia
is not as strong as it used to be, Kony and his Lord’s Resistance Army has been
wanted for many years. The United States has even provided troops to help
locate and find Kony and his militia. Over the years, Kony and the militia have
captured children to fight for their cause, which has led to Kony’s 33 counts
of war crimes by the International Criminal Court. Even though Uganda is not
removing their soldiers from the Central Africa Republic, many are worried that
Kony will use the lull to his advantage. This may lead to him kidnapping more
children or leading more attacks.
