Comments on: #StopKony: How is that working in Uganda? UPDATED https://wthrockmorton.com/2012/03/09/stopkony-how-is-that-working-in-uganda/ A [retired] college psychology professor's observations about public policy, mental health, sexual identity, and religious issues Wed, 30 May 2018 20:58:03 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: anteros https://wthrockmorton.com/2012/03/09/stopkony-how-is-that-working-in-uganda/#comment-93727 Wed, 30 May 2018 20:58:03 +0000 https://www.wthrockmorton.com/?p=11245#comment-93727 the question isn’t whether or not he is in uganda, or how long he has been out of uganda, or how well his current absence from uganda can be established. the question is, if kony has not been captured all these years, who can claim with absolute certainty that he will never return to uganda? it may or may not have been “just” was a _rumor_ that kony had returned to gulu, but can you imagine what such a rumor does to the thousands who suffered and witnessed the wrath of LRA and lived in camps for years while kids walked to gulu town everyday out of fear? just months ago, a ugandan official was on the evening news justifying increased military expenditure claiming that LRA and ADF were preparing to return to uganda. doesnt matter where he is right now… he’s a ugandan terrorist who has devastated communities in an entire region, there’s an ICC warrant for his arrest, and regarding the relevance of kony’s absence from uganda to the efforts towards catching kony… the ugandan army should have a keen (perhaps the keenest) interest and should play a key role and should seek whatever assistance would help from whoever is offering it… until kony has been brought to justice.

Just days after KONY 2012 began making Kony famous, Uganda’s daily monitor wrote about Kony’s recent spate of killings and abductions in DRC where Kony has allegedly been hiding… and the fact that the Ugandan army had been asked to leave DRC just before this recent spate began… it doesnt matter where Kony is – what matters is that he is brought to justice… and it doesnt matter who brings kony to justice – as traumatised communities in four countries (whose governments and armies have failed to bring kony to justice) would probably assure you, this is an international issue requiring an international effort.
