Joseph Kony is the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army, a rebel movement he formed among the Acholi of northern Uganda in 1987. His war against the Ugandan government, which later spread into the Congo, South Sudan and the Central African Republic, was notorious for the abduction of children and atrocities against civilians. In 2005 the International Criminal Court issued a warrant for his arrest for crimes against humanity and war crimes, but he has never been captured.
