Uganda rebel leader linked to war crimes

ICC to hear charges against fugitive warlord

The International Criminal Court (ICC) will from today hear war crimes charges against fugitive Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony, accused of spearheading a brutal reign of terror that killed tens of thousands.

Judges will hear 39 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity against Mr Kony, including murder, torture, rape, sexual slavery and pillaging at the ICC’s first-ever in absentia hearing.

A former altar boy and self-styled prophet, he founded and led Uganda's most vicious rebel group, the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), in the 1980s.

The LRA rebellion against President Yoweri Museveni saw at least 100,000 killed, according to UN estimates, and 60,000 children abducted in a campaign that spread to several neighbouring countries.

Mr Kony’s stated aim was to establish a nation based on the Bible’s 10 commandments but those who escaped told harrowing tales of the group's brutality.
