For decades, the name Joseph Kony has been synonymous with one of the most gruesome rebellions in Africa. The warlord from Uganda, who has been accused of perpetrating some of the worst atrocities on unarmed civilians, has been on the run for decades, evading capture by forces from various nations who have sought to capture him. Despite this, Joseph Kony remains on the loose.
His ability to slip away into some of the most ungoverned corners of Central Africa has intrigued observers and baffled international authorities. His rebel group, which he founded, the Lord’s Resistance Army, is now but a shadow of what it once was. Nevertheless, the fact that both Kony and his small group of loyal followers are alive today prompts many questions about the reach of global justice and regional security cooperation.
