6. Joseph Kony was born in Atyak,
Uganda on September 18, 1964. As a
youngster, Kony was a Catholic altar
boy. Now he says he gets strategic
advice from angels. There are eight of
these angels, he says -- three
American, two Sudanese, two
Chinese, and one Congolese. What is
the advice he gets? He claims he got
advice from these angels to form the
Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA).
7. The LRA has kidnapped an estimated 60,000 children for use
as fighters or sex slaves. As part of their initiation, these
children are often required to kill their own parents, so they
will have no homes or family to return to.
8. Once
kidnapped, childre
n are used as pack
mules, carrying
LRA supplies until
they are too weak
to walk, at which
time they're killed
or simply left to
DIE
9. Kidnapped boys also
serve as targets and
decoys, sent to the front
lines -- unarmed --
whenever the Ugandan
Army engages the LRA.

11. Kidnapped girls that
Kony or any of his
senior commanders
find attractive become
their "wives" (Kony is
reputed to have 60).
12. Young girls and women kidnapped by the LRA are often forced to become sex slaves
rebel commanders, and forced of pregnancies aimed at repopulating LRA fighters.
These girls and women are at extremely high risk of contracting HIV, and the risk of
disease has led commanders to seek even younger female victims, in the hope that
they will be "clean."
13. Troublesome captives have their noses, lips, and/or ears cut
off, and are then made to eat their own flesh. They are also
burned alive.
Kony said:
“Your nose will be
cut off together
with your ears and
in the end the
sword will kill you.
Your children will
be taken into
captivity and they
will be burnt to
death.”
