Lord’s Resistance Army rebel group commander Dominic Ongwen today convicted for war crimes and crimes against humanity
‘We hope this decision provides… redress for the 4,000 victims who participated in the case and who can now receive reparations for their suffering’ - Seif Magango

Known as the White Ant , convicted war criminal Dominic Ongwen is estimated to have been between nine and 14 years old when he was abducted by the Lord s Resistance Army (LRA) as he was walking to school in northern Uganda - going on over the next 27 years to become a ruthless rebel commander.
Warning: Some people may find details in this story upsetting It is a story of a child, like many in the LRA, forced to grow up in the image of their oppressors, campaign group LRA Crisis Tracker says.
Shortly after his abduction in 1987 or 1988, he tried to escape with three others and when they failed, he was forced to skin alive one of the other abductees as a warning, a psychiatrist at his war crimes trial at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague said.

Summary
Mr Ongwen, who is facing 70 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity is the first LRA commander to be tried alone after being indicted by the ICC in 2005 for war crimes.
The ICC dropped the arrest warrants for Raska Lukwiya and Okot Odhiambo after the court’s investigations confirmed that they were dead.
