Summary
The memory of LRA across much of northern Uganda is that of a group that abducted children as soldiers, pillaged villages for food and material possession and conscripted girls as sex slaves.
The LRA was founded three decades ago by former Catholic altar boy and self-styled prophet Kony, who launched a bloody rebellion in northern Uganda against President Yoweri Museveni.
