  3. Who is Kony? Kony was a man that was born in uganda and started an army. Kony wants to create a state with laws that are based on the ten commandments, even though he doesn't follow them himself. He abducts children and uses them for his own needs such as putting them into his army. Right now Kony is in hiding and people are trying to capture him.

  4. More facts... Kony started his army in Uganda, but the Ugandan military pushed them out and into south Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Central African Republic and the Congo. Videos have been created to raise awareness of the crisis in Africa involving Kony. One of these videos is called Kony 2012. The sequel to the first video is called Kony 2012 part 2. The links for these videos are below. There are also other videos on Kony that can be found on Youtube. Kony 2012 video Kony 2012 part two: Beyond Famous

  5. What is the LRA? LRA stands for the Lord's Resistance army. The LRA is an army that was created by Kony. Kony was fighting, and he found himself running out of men to fight for him. He decided to abduct children so they could make up his army. The LRA wants to help Kony overthrow the president and create a state based on the ten commandments.

  6. The problem now... Kony is in hiding and we don't know where he is so some African countries are still under attack. The abducted children are in the front of the LRA when there is violence, so the LRA can't be attacked without harming the children. Children are still being abducted and sometimes are forced to kill their own parents. Many people run from their home towns to try to find safety from the LRA.

  7. What are some possible solutions? What do you think some possible solutions would be? One possible solution would be to send out search parties for Kony, and once he was found put him in jail. The LRA wouldn't have a leader and it would be easier to attack them. Another possible solution would be to build a building where Africans that felt threatened could go for safety. One last solution would be to send basic items to the people in hiding from the LRA so they have some hope and can keep fighting.

  8. Trivia What is Kony's army called and what did that stand for? His army is called the LRA and that stands for the lord's resistance army. What is Kony and the LRA's goal? Their goal is to create a state with laws based on the ten commandments. Where was Kony born? Kony was born in Uganda.
