For over eighteen years, Uganda has been fighting a war of freedom, safety, and closure. The Ugandan government has subsisted fighting the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), led by the malevolent leader, Joseph Kony. The rebel forces of this powerful army torment and abduct children from all over Northern Uganda to serve as soldiers, sex slaves, and spies. Families in villages lay helpless and frightened of the autocrats of the LRA. Although guerrilla warfare has been going on in Uganda for decades, the feeble country must rid of Joseph Kony in order to achieve peace and tranquility once and for all because there must be an end to the cruelty going on in Uganda for decades, Kony is brainwashing people with his views on religion, and all people must unite together to stop this vindictiveness. Joseph Kony’s cruelty was inspired by former Ugandan president, Idi Amin. Many believe that the cruel acts of Kony are astonishing; however these incidents are no new thing. Cruelty has been going on in Uganda for decades, and Joseph Kony is continuing it. Much like Joseph Kony, no many people were fond of Idi Amin but they had no choice but to listen to him because their lives literally depended on it (Dougherty 24). Whatever Amin wanted, he got it. He was willing to kill anyone in his way. He beat and tortured people until their final breath. Kony has adopted many of Amin’s cruel killing tactics taking it as far as cannibalism (Dougherty 33). Joseph Kony treats his soldiers like animals. He turns the boys into soldiers and the girls into sex slaves (Lira 1). Kony’s high-ranked officers were rewarded with sex slaves who were assaulted and raped against their will. If he was looking to punish a child in the LRA, Kony would make the other children viciously murder him or her, then cut up the corpse and eat it (Raffaele 29%). This is not an uncommon occurrence and is a way of enforcement to show just how evil Kony and his followers can be. They feel that the only way to be powerful is if they are feared. One of the Lord’s Resistance Army’s signatures is to distort people’s faces as a warning not to mess with them. They will even go as far as to cut off things such as ears, mouths, and noses (Raffaele 190). The LRA thought that this would make people see that they show no mercy and that no one would stand a chance against their powerful forces. People were killed in the LRA for acting frightened, being disobedient, and often times for no reason at all (Raffaele 28%). Fear and hopelessness have taken control of the natural rhythm of life in all of Uganda. Cruelty is commonplace and people are put into situations of danger and fear for their well-being of their children who could be taken away from them
