USA Pledges Shs 18 Billion ($5 Million) Reward for Whoever Brings Lord's Resistant Army (LRA) Rebel Commander Joseph Kony Alive.

A $5 million (Ugx18,713,050,000) bounty has been placed on the head of Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony who has remained at large for close to two decades now.

The reward by the War Crimes Reward Programme of the US State Department follows Kony’s 2005 indictment by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

“Joseph Kony is wanted for war crimes against humanity. No information is too small, help get him arrested,” the reward programme said in a statement on Sunday.

The programme offers up to $5 million for information that leads to arrest of fugitives wanted for war crimes, genocide, crimes against humanity.

Kony is one of Africa’s most notorious warlords and one of the most wanted African militants accused of ordering the abduction of children to become child soldiers and sex slaves.

Born Joseph Rao Kony around 1961, he founded the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) in 1987 and declared a military offensive in Uganda.

His aim was to overthrow President Yoweri Museveni’s government and establish a government based on the dominion theology.

Dominion theology is an ideology held by a group of Christian politicians who seek to govern a nation based on their understanding of biblical law.

Kony described himself as a freedom fighter whose struggle is for a Christian Uganda.

He fled to South Sudan after he was banished in Uganda for atrocities that displaced two million people and enlisted about 66,000 child soldiers into his army between 1986 to 2009.

He is thought to be operating either in South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) or Central African Republic (CAR).

Sources say his forces have shrunk to about 100 soldiers from an estimated high of 3,000.

Kony was in 2013 reported to be in bad health and ready to negotiate for surrender but that never happened.

In May 2021, former child soldier a top commander in Kony’s army Dominic Ongwen was sentenced to 25 years in jail by the ICC.

Ongwen, known as White Ant, was convicted in February that year of more than 60 crimes including murder, torture, rape and sexual enslavement.

Prosecutors argued that Ongwen received a lower prison term because he had been abducted by the LRA as a child.
