What is Lord's Resistance Army?
The '''Lord's Resistance Army''' is a [[paramilitary]] group, and a [[new religious movement]]. [[Joseph Kony]] founded it in 1987, in the north of [[Uganda]], to fight against the government, headed by president [[Yoweri Museveni]]. The group operates in [[Central African Republic]], the [[Democratic Republic of the Congo]] and in [[South Sudan]]. It wants to establish an independent state which is governed by laws based on the [[Ten Commandments]]. There is an [[insurgency]] called [[Lord's Resistance Army insurgency]], which was basically caused by the group. Uganda was able to evict the group, but it continues to terrorize the population in the other countries where it is active. In conjunction with the conflict, the group is also said to have committed several grave abuses of human rights.It has been accused of widespread [[human rights]] violations, including [[murder]], [[kidnapping|abduction]], [[mutilation]], [[sexual slavery|child-sex slavery]] and [[Military use of children|forcing children to participate in hostilities]].<ref name=warrants>International Criminal Court (14 October 2005).
