About Joseph Kony

Joseph Kony is the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a militant rebel group operating in central Africa. In October 2011, the United States announced the deployment of advisers to Uganda to aid in the fight against Joseph Kony's LRA. The group has been classified as a terrorist organization by the United States and the African Union, and Joseph Kony was indicted by the International Criminal Court in 2005.
