The Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) in Uganda

Who is The Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) is a militant group that has been engaged in conflict with the Ugandan government and is leding with Joseph Kony.
Kony, clamed to be fighting for the establishment of a government based on the Ten Commandments. since the 1990s the fighting has been started with Ugandan Government in the North against the Lord’s Resistance Army. Kony is accused of carrying out widespread abduction of children to serve as soldiers or sex slaves. It is estimated that the LRA have abducted around 30,000 children and the civil war has led to the displacement of 1.6 million people from Northern Uganda and the deaths, mutilations and kidnappings of more than 100,000 people.
The war in northern Uganda has been called the most neglected humanitarian emergency in the world today. For the past 23 years, the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and the Government of Uganda, have been waging a war that has left nearly two million innocent civilians caught in the middle. The Govemment of Ugand tried to protect its citizens from this rebel militia but has failed, resulting in an entire generation of youth that has never known peace.
But when this fighting going on also there were a process of peace talks, in order to to end cease fire. From June 2006 to March 2008 in Juba, Sudan, the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and the Government of Uganda started series of peace talks to end the conflict. These peace talks, supported by special envoys from the United States and other nations, allowed for the longest period of peace in northern Uganda’s 23-year war.

On March of 2008, the Final Peace Agreement (FPA) was ready but . Kony has refused to sign any peace agreement unless the charges made against him by the ICC are dropped.
Since the collapse of the peace talks, the LRA has been active in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Central African Republic (CAR) and southern Sudan, drawing widespread disapproval from the international community and igniting a new urgency to end what has become a complex regional conflict.
In the last two years, an estimated 900,000 of the 1.8 million displaced have returned to their homes. But that leaves one million people currently living in the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps.
According to BBC News: US President Barack Obama has said he is sending about 100 US soldiers to Uganda to help regional forces battle the notorious Lord's Resistance Army. LRA rebel leader Joseph Kony is wanted by the International Criminal Court.
