Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA)

When the National Resistance Army (NRA) took power in Uganda in 1986, a movement led by Joseph Kony appeared; it is called the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA).

This group believes that for Uganda to be a better state it must follow the Ten Commandments. Ironically, the LRA has broken all of them.

The group is known for tortures, abductions, and for enslaving children. As Time Magazine reported in 2007:
The rebels have spread terror throughout northern Uganda by massacring and disfiguring civilians, regularly cutting off the noses and ears, cheeks and lips and eyelids of their victims. The group has also abducted an estimated 25,000 children to serve as soldiers, porters and sex slaves.
