The Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) is a mob of barbaric killers led by Joseph Kony, who was part of a rebel group in the mid-eighties.

Kony has said he wants to rule Uganda under 11 commandments that are mix of his own psychotic thoughts with the Muslim and Christian faiths.

His commanders have amassed an army of tens of thousands of young boys abducted from their homes since around 1996.

They are trained through fear and intimidation to kill with knives, machetes and guns.

Often they are abducted, trained and then brought back to their home village where they are ordered to shoot or hack to death members of their own families and village.

The LRA are notorious for their sick barbaric methods of killing people.

The actions of the LRA, which escalated to enormous scales at around 2004, resulted in the Ugandan Government deciding to force all innocent villagers up north to move to special “displacement camps.”

Almost 2 million people were put in these camps and today, despite a ceasefire in Uganda, just about half have returned home, only to find their villages and land in ruin.

The majority of the rest fear a return of the LRA.

The LRA are currently held up in a jungle hideaway in the DR Congo, where just before Christmas 2008 combined forces of Ugandan, Sudanese and Congolese soldiers attacked them, which resulted in the LRA deputy leader Okot Odhiambo being injured.

This has also resulted in the LRA attacking innocent villagers in the DR Congo and Sudan as they flee.

These military operations are being assisted by a small group of US military liaison officers appointed before George Bush junior ended his presidency.
