The lord resistance army began in the 1980 as the Holy Spirit movement with their leader Alice Lakwena who said that the Holy Spirit had told her to overthrow the Ugandan government which was supposedly treating the Alcholi people unfairly. The idea of the government getting taken over grew stronger and followers flocked to Alice and later led to battle that was fought against the government that the government won and Alice was exiled. After the battle and Alice’s exile a man appeared claiming to be Alice’s cousin his name was Joseph Kony and started to lead the rebellion renaming it the Lord Resistance army.
The lord Resistance army’s new mission was to take over the government and rule Uganda based on the Ten Commandments. Joseph started losing supporters so he started to abduct children and make them into fierce killers and letting them attack villages without mercy. The international communities have helped by putting out arrest warrants for Kony and his top commanders but have failed to arrest him just yet.
