Good piece by @sallyhayd in FP about the lack of resources available to survivors of LRA sexual violence in northern Uganda despite the guilty verdict in the #OngwenTrial. foreignpolicy.com/2021/03/09…

Glad to see this piece (re)published. Our @Invisible team has interviewed dozens of #LRA escapees since the original publish date in March 2020, and the findings reinforce the conclusions we drew then.
The article of @pauldronan and myself on the current status of the #LRA and #Kony is (re)published in @newvisionwire 'LRA sells honey to survive: What is the future of the rebel force?' newvision.co.ug/articledetai…

LRA update thread: With the ICC's verdict in Dominic #OngwenTrial due later this week, feels timely to share updates on what Joseph Kony and remaining #LRA groups are up to. Here's a snapshot:

It's about time they opened up a post office in Kafia Kingi!
BREAKING NEWS: LRA leader, Joseph Kony, has written to @KagutaMuseveni asking him to reopen peace talks with the defunct rebel group. Kony even lists names of the team President Museveni should send to negotiate with him, among them deputy speaker of parliament, Jacob Oulanyah!

The Lord’s Resistance Army went from being a brutal killing machine to little more than 100 rebels struggling for survival. What can be done to defeat them once and for all? thenewhumanitarian.org/news-…

Fantastic piece on trends in #LRA activity by @sophie_neiman. Includes @CrisisTracker data on continued abduction of children and youth documented by @Invisible-supported early warning system in #DRC and #CAR.
The Lord’s Resistance Army has been reduced to a dwindling rump of fighters spread across vast swathes of territory in Central Africa. So what's to make of the group’s spate of recent attacks? thenewhumanitarian.org/news-…

As always, the LRA defies a simple narrative. Yes, it is much weaker than it once was. But it is still a daily threat to civilians in eastern CAR and northeastern DRC, abducting more than 150 people this year. This @sophie_neiman piece does a great job capturing those nuances.

Highly recommend watching this, because 1. It's REALLY good, 2. At 28 minutes, it's perfect for a lunch break, and 3. Let's be honest, if you haven't watched Tiger King or Love is Blind by now, you're never going to get around to it.
Now through May 21, watch our new narrative film Ani Wa Sa, as part of @DCEFF_org and see how our innovative mobile cinema program uses story to inspire creative, local solutions for peace. --> spr.ly/60161hRhr

This @RFIAfrique piece by @Flomorice highlights the recent surge of abductions by the #LRA in northeastern DRC. The LRA has abducted 129 civilians, including dozens of children, so far this year. 1/ rfi.fr/afrique/20190516-rdc-…

Some encouraging news from southeastern #CAR this week. Local authorities completed a "caravane de la paix" from Bangassou (Mbomou pref) to Bangui, intended to reinforce freedom of movement on that main road, which is critical for trade and aid delivery. facebook.com/diasporamagazin…

As this @RFIAfrique piece by @CharlotteCosset shows, the closure of the border crossing between Bambouti (southeastern CAR) and Source Yubu (South Sudan) is contributing to malnutrition and food shortages at least as far west as Zemio in CAR. rfi.fr/afrique/20190414-repo…

Insightful, thoughtful piece by @KristofTiteca on grappling with the influences of spiritual beliefs within the LRA and their relevance to Ongwen's trial at the ICC.
I testified at the trial of one of Joseph Kony’s commanders. Here’s what the court didn’t understand. wapo.st/2RVxi6o
