In 1989, 25-year-old Joseph Kony led an armed struggle against President Museveni’s government and Uganda’s military, forming the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). To date, the LRA has abducted over 25,000 children who comprise the vast majority of the LRA’s fighting forces. The government of Uganda has responded to this crisis by forcing the region’s population of 1.8 million people into hastily-erected camps, where they are more easily protected from LRA attacks.
