Exclusive - Kony 2012- Saving the Invisible Children

Joseph Kony, the Ugandan warlord who's become the subject of a global social-network campaign, is evading capture amid tensions between Central African nations where his Lord's Resistance Army operate.

 

Kony has been on the run since being indicted by the International Criminal Court in 2005 on charges including murder, mutilation, rape and the abduction of 30,000 children for use as soldiers and sex slaves during a two-decade rebellion.

Invisible Children, which was created after the filmmakers visited Uganda in 2003, calls on supporters to lobby U.S. lawmakers and buy posters and bracelets to publicize Kony's name so he can be captured by the end of the year. The U.S. has spent more than $40 million since 2008 on logistical support, equipment and training to help capture Kony.

The LRA, which takes its inspiration from the Ten Commandments of the Bible, began a rebellion after Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni came to power in 1986 by overthrowing Tito Okello, an ethnic Acholi. The LRA blames Museveni's forces for purging the army of Acholi people, the majority of whom make up the LRA.

Eleventh Commandment

Kony also created a so-called eleventh commandment banning people from riding bicycles because he thought they were used by villagers to warn the Ugandan army his fighters were coming, Johannesburg's Weekly Mail & Guardian reported in 1997. Those caught riding bicycles had their legs amputated, it said.
