Lord's Resistance Army insurgency
The Lord's Resistance Army insurgency is an ongoing guerrilla campaign waged by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) rebel group since 1987. Currently there is small scale LRA activity in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the Central African Republic. The movement, led by Joseph Kony, who proclaims himself the "spokesperson" of God and a spirit medium, aims to overthrow Yoweri Museveni's Ugandan government and to establish a theocratic state based on the Ten Commandments and Acholi tradition, according to its leaders.〔("Interview with Vincent Otti, LRA second in command" ) and (" A leadership based on claims of divine revelations" ) in ''IRIN In Depth'', June 2007〕
The conflict, one of Africa's longest running, has resulted in a very severe humanitarian crisis. The LRA is accused of widespread human rights violations, including mutilation, torture, slavery, rape, the abduction of civilians, the use of child soldiers, and a number of massacres.〔International Criminal Court (14 October 2005). ''(Warrant of Arrest unsealed against five LRA Commanders )''. Retrieved 10 June 2008.〕 By 2004, the LRA had abducted more than 20,000 children, while 1.5 million civilians had been displaced and an estimated 100,000 civilians killed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC NEWS - Programmes - From Our Own Correspondent - Forgiveness for Uganda's former rebels )〕
==Background==
The January 1986 overthrow of President Tito Okello, an ethnic Acholi, by the National Resistance Army (NRA) of south-west Uganda born Yoweri Museveni marked a period of intense turmoil. The NRA in their efforts to liberate the entire country meted out a lot of atrocities on the people of Acholi. This act spurred some Acholis to resist the medieval acts. The Acholi are sometimes said to have feared the loss of their traditional dominance of the national military; they were also deeply concerned that the NRA would seek retribution for the brutal counterinsurgency, particularly the actions of the army in the Luwero triangle.〔Doom, R. and K. Vlassenroot. "Kony's message: a new ''koine''? The Lord's Resistance Army in Northern Uganda," ''African Affairs'' 98 (390), p. 9〕 By August of that year, a full-blown popular insurgency had developed in northern regions that were occupied by the new government forces.
