Joseph Kony

International prosecutors accused a former Lord's Resistance Army commander on Thursday of using rape and brutality to turn children the LRA had abducted into sex slaves or soldiers for its long campaign against Uganda's government.

Uganda's Lord's Resistance Army rebels have launched a string of attacks across central Africa with a "steady increase" in abductions, the United Nations said in a report seen today.

Ugandan troops have killed at least 15 former rebels from the Central African Republic after mistaking them for fighters of the notorious Lord's Resistance Army, police has said.

Members of a militia run by fugitive African warlord Joseph Kony are killing elephants across Central Africa to support Kony's struggling group, according to a report by watchdog organizations that are urging the expansion of programs to encourage defections from the Lord's Resistance Army.

The head of a planned African Union (AU) force to hunt warlord Joseph Kony said on Wednesday that he can't start his task because he doesn't have troops, equipment or the necessary funding.

The video encourages viewers to see themselves as global citizens that need to see Kony and his army brought to justice.

A Ugandan army official says Ugandan forces have captured a senior commander of Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) after a brief fight with rebels near the Congo-Central African Republic border.

Defectors have also reported that the Lord's Resistance Army chief is becoming increasingly unstable, Abou Moussa, UN special representative for Central Afri...

Wanted Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony's days as a free man are "numbered," a US lawmaker said on Wednesday, adding that the "noose is tightening" on the leader of the brutal Lord's Resistance Army (LRA).

The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) says he has "no doubt" that fugitive African warlord Joseph Kony will be arrested this year because the international spotlight has helped boost the hunt for the Lord's Resistance Army leader.

The video encourages viewers to see themselves as global citizens that need to see Kony and his army brought to justice.

For some in the nonprofit world, the reaction to the success of an advocacy video about the African warlord Joseph Kony can be summed up in a word: envy.

Few faces evoke more hatred and fear in northern Uganda than Joseph Kony, one of Africa's most wanted men whose army of child soldiers preyed on this town for years and whose brutal legacy has been thrust back into the spotlight by a hugely popular U.S. video.
