lord's resistance army of Uganda


The sort of info you are never going to get from NDTV, Times of India et el. primarily because some source of funds may be common.
Anyway, since lord is involved, human right violation, murder, abduction, mutilation, sexual enslavement of women and children and forced participation of children in hostilities is justified...No ?


"The Lord's Resistance Army (also Lord's Resistance Movement or Lakwena Part Two) is a sectarian Christian militant group based in northern Uganda.
The group was formed in 1987 and is engaged in an armed rebellion against the Ugandan government in what is now one of Africa'slongest-running conflicts. It is led by Joseph Kony, who proclaims himself the "spokesperson" of God and a spirit medium, primarily of the Holy Spirit, which the Acholi believe can represent itself in many manifestations.[3]
The group adheres to a syncretistic[4] blend of ChristianityMysticism,[5] traditional religion,[6] and witchcraft,[7] and claims to be establishing a theocratic state based on the Ten Commandments and Acholi tradition.[3][8][9][10] The LRA is accused of widespreadhuman rights violations, including murderabductionmutilationsexual enslavement of women and children, and forcing children to participate in hostilities.[11]"
