[quote]Uganda's military has confirmed that a senior commander in the rebel Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) movement has been taken into custody by US forces.

The army spokesman told the BBC that soldiers had visited Dominic Ongwen, who was being held in the Central African Republic, to identify him.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) wants to put Mr Ongwen on trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

But the Ugandan government has said it would prefer to try him at home.

Government spokesman Ofwono Opondo told the BBC that Mr Ongwen should be in Uganda by the end of the week, when he would be charged.[/quote]

I'll be honest, the only thing that keeps reminding me of the LRA is teenage girls in my school. About a year ago they were all trying to start local campaigns to "stop" them. Hopefully that will be on the decline now.

Kony 2012 was such a massive scam.

Quite a brilliant scam though. It really didn't take much research to figure out that the charity itself was pure bullshit, but the video was so brilliant and shareable it managed to balloon regardless.
