Kampala, Uganda
The Ugandan government is offering a bounty of $11,000an enormous fortune in that countryfor the capture or killing of a notorious cult leader. For nearly 20 years, Joseph Kony has been worshiped as a god by his followers in the Lords Resistance Army, who are encouraged to murder their families to prove their loyalty. From his bases in southern Sudan, he has been fighting to overthrow the Ugandan government and replace it with one based on the Ten Commandments. His appallingly brutal raids on villages, in which he steals the children to be raised as gunmen or sex slaves, have terrorized the border area. Kony has boiled women alive and forced their families to eat the bodies.
