Joseph Rao Kony
U.S. offers $5million bounty for Uganda warlord Joseph Kony, 51. The announcement came as the Ugandan army suspended a search for Kony in the Central African Republic (CAR), blaming hostility from its new government.
Joseph Kony is the head of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), guerrilla group in Uganda and has been accused by government entities of ordering the abduction of children to become child-sex slaves and child soldiers. An estimated 66,000 children became soldiers and two million people have been internally displaced since 1986.
Kony was indicted for war crimes and crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands, in 2005 but has evaded capture. The LRA operates in Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic and South Sudan.
