Khaleej Times backs global manhunt for Joseph Kony
Joseph Kony was born in 1961 as an Acholi tribal and his Lords Liberation Army (LRA) stronghold covers the borders of Uganda, the Congo and southern Sudan.
Kony is known to have raided villages, kidnapped children as young as eight and put them into uniform as child soldiers often forcing them to murder their own parents. And other family members. He has abducted girls and converted them at gunpoint into sex slaves.
Russells film estimates the number of children at around 30,000; Its reported elsewhere to be as high as 70,000. Because of him over 2 million people have been displaced and they still live in fear.

Too bad he wasn't born in the USA. He could run for President on the GOP ticket.

Wasn't there outrage on DU when it was announced that US troops were assisting in the hunt for him? Some posts about "more countries with US boots on the ground" and "neocons grinning with glee"
