After 20+ years of marauding into peaceful villages to kidnap, steal, and kill (somehow in their devil's mind equivalent to grocery shopping), the Lord's Resistance Army is returning to its common tactics, after 2/3 years of relative quiet in the jungle. My heart goes out to the Southern Sudanese gov't who has done its best to mediate while also trying to put its own pieces back together caused by terror from the same hands-the Khartoum/LRA regime. The LRA kept backing away from appointed meeting spots and times to discuss a ceasefire; asking for the ICC to drop all charges, and have resumed attacks in CAR, and Sudan. The LRA saber-rattling prompted the armies of South Sudan, Uganda and fledgling forces of DRC, whose legitimacy still gets mud-slung by its record of abuses, to commit to demolish them. For justice sake, I hope the international community supports a bombing to take out their jungle camp right now, before another corner/border of Africa is further embroiled in hell.
I support Captain Ronald:

US condemns LRA, but will it mean anything?:
