The Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) has moved into Kajo Keji county in Southern Sudan, the Episcopal Church of the Sudan reports, sparking an exodus of civilians and fears the Ugandan civil war will spread north into the Sudan.

On Jan 30 a battalion of LRA soldiers raided villages 75 miles south of Southern Sudan’s capital of Juba abducting 40 people, and killing four, according to a report released by an assessment team from the Diocese of Kajo Keji, the Danish Refugee Council and the government of South Sudan.
“The entire population is filled with panic and helplessness,” the report said. “They have lost all basic possessions such as household utensils, beddings, and clothing. People congregate together for fear and lack of protection. Many express intentions to cross to neighbouring counties.”
Church and aid leaders have urged the South Sudanese army to repel the invaders, and asked the international community to pressure the LRA to sign a peace agreement with Uganda, ending the 22-year war.
The LRA has denied involvement in the attacks. “We do not have any forces in that area,” LRA chief negotiator David Matsanga said according to a report published by the IRIN news service.
Kony denies the attacks? It is easy to refute or “support” his contention. How many children were kidnapped to populate his abuse-grounded conditionning of them into killers? How many females were raped by the attackers? How many macheted bodies were found?
These are the hallmarks of this egomaniacal deranged excuse for a human being. See the Gerson Washington Post article “Africa’s Messiah of Horror.” It is a wincing eye-opner.
You have destroyed more lives than can be counted. I will pray for you.
Kony please give your lif to Jesus Christ and he will forgive you for all that you have done. Don’t harden your haert and die in sin. Jesus died for all people including you and he will make your sins as white as snow.
When will northern uganda have peace? how will they settle in there homes? where will the peace deal be signed?
Kony, I don’t understand. The Lord would not kill children, so why are you?
Another day in Africa. Isn’t independence sweet…
Do not pray for him. He deserves no sort of heaven even if it does exist.
