 GULU, Uganda, Aug. 3 (UPI) -- The leader of a Ugandan murder cult that uses child soldiers is closing ranks as the International Criminal Court prepares to issue an arrest warrant. Joseph Kony, a self-styled prophet who has led the Lord's Resistance Army for 19 years, doesn't appear interested in an amnesty Uganda has offered for LRA members, The Telegraph reported Wednesday. | Joe is one of those folk what needs killin' |
He is aware the court is investigating the abduction of some 20,000 children, but uses the isolation of his officers and child soldiers to intimidate them into believing they will go to jail if they surrender, the London newspaper said. Kony claims he wishes to rule Uganda according to the Ten Commandments, and justified murdering his own Acholi people with biblical references and accusations that they have failed to support his cause. At the Children of War Rehabilitation Centre in Gulu, 13,000 of Kony's abductees have received counseling and care in the past decade. | I'm sure he's trembling in his boots over this arrest warrant |
