Remember the infamous Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony from the Invisible Children’s Stop Kony campaign that went viral in March 2012? It’s interesting that he has not been seen or heard from since 2010. Recent defectors of his rebel group The Lord’s Resistance Army have denied seeing or communicating with him for some years. Where is he?
Joseph Kony is a former choirboy and the founder of the bloodthirsty guerilla organization the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). He claims to be a spokesman of God and says he has had conversations with many spirits. Those ghosts must have been telling him some terrible things. The list of the LRA’s atrocities is long. Among them, mass murder, sex slavery, and the abduction of thousands of children, many who became child soldiers for his army.
The US says that the abduction of 200 Nigerian schoolgirls by terrorist group Boko Haram last month — highlighted by the #BringBackOurGirls social media campaign — was inspired by Kony’s cruel tactics.
