Gulu (Uganda) (AFP) – Twenty years after he was first indicted by the International Criminal Court in The Hague, charges against notorious rebel commander Joseph Kony are set to be heard, giving hope to many who endured his crimes. Kony’s decades-long campaign of terror across central Africa, as the leader of Lord’s Resistance Army, killed more than 100,000 people with 60,000 abducted children forced to become sex slaves or child soldiers. Despite a long-running hunt, at times involving international forces, Kony remains at large — his hearing will take place in-absentia.
