FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
But when the group held a public screening Tuesday in Lira, where few people
had been able to watch the 30-minute film due to limited Internet access, it
provoked an angry response.
“As soon as they saw the clip saying that people should make Kony famous,
people got very upset and started to react,” said Mr Ochen.
Many of the thousands attending, who included some mutilated by the soldiers
of Kony’s Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), objected to what they saw as the
film’s insensitivity and its outdated view of northern Uganda, he added.
“People were asking why they were showing white children in America and
not telling the truth about the situation of the local people in the area,”
said Mr Ochen.
“We realised that the reaction would be the same wherever we went,”
he added.
Kony’s ruthless rebels were infamous for mutilating civilians and abducting
children to use as soldiers and sex-slaves during their two-decade war in
northern Uganda.
But they have been forced out of Uganda and since 2006 have been operating in
neighbouring countries.
Kony, a semi-literate former altar boy, took charge in 1988 of a rebellion
among northern Uganda’s ethnic Acholi minority, to fight the Kampala
government it wanted to replace by a regime based on the bible’s Ten
Commandments.
He is accused by the International Criminal Court of the rape, mutilation and
murder of civilians as well as forcibly recruiting child soldiers.
Regional armies launched a hunt in 2008 to capture Kony after he repeatedly
refused to sign a peace deal with Uganda. But he remains at large alongside
a clutch of fighters.
