Capt Okotís epaulette is similar to those of the Ugandan army. Civilians have sometimes mistaken the LRA for the Ugandan army.
One of the differences on the LRA pips is a white bible inside a heart.
Abductees are forced to attend religious sessions which seem designed to brainwash them to stay in the LRA.
Some recently freed children refused to touch drinks and food given to them by the Ugandan army Ė they had been told they would be poisoned if they left the LRA.
