From 1987 to 2006, the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), under the leadership of Joseph Kony, instilled fear in the Central African region. Operating mainly in Uganda, the LRA became infamous for its brutal tactics, including abducting young children to serve as soldiers and sex slaves. Kony's rebels terrorized communities, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. The LRA's reign of terror led to displacement, loss of life, and profound humanitarian crises. In response to international pressure and regional military efforts, the LRA was eventually forced out of Uganda. However, it continued its atrocities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and the Central African Republic (CAR), creating a complex and enduring humanitarian challenge that demanded coordinated efforts to address the aftermath of its brutal campaign.
