is no longer experiencing violence from the LRA. Yes, I said it. It’s
an uncomfortable truth, but it is a truth. For about the last year,
since before IC hit the scene, Kony and his troops have been pushed into
Congo, into the Garamba National Forest there. He’s sick, starving, and
on his last legs. For the first time, Uganda is in the middle of real
peace talks and the rebels have laid down their arms and are assembling
to make peace. Why? This is happening because Joseph Kony was defeated.
The Uganda People’s Defense Force (UPDF) has beaten them back and Kony
was sitting in Congo starving to death. Since March 2002, the UPDF has
been allowed to carry out raids against the LRA into Southern Sudan and
has even crossed into Congo, to the distress of most of the African
community. Nonetheless, Operation Iron Fist, as this military offensive
was called, has freed many child soldiers and sex slaves and brought
them back to Uganda. The rebels again became very violent in 2003, but
since 2004, the Ugandan government has been repeatedly beating the
rebels and weakening them. Uganda is no longer allowed to enter Sudan or
Congo to fight the LRA.
>Invisible
Children was founded in 2004, with the film crew filming in Uganda in
2003. Watching Invisible Children is watching old news. Will watching it
alert you to what has occurred in Uganda? Yes, but it will not let you
know what is happening there today.
