After founding his Lord’s Resistance Army in the 1980s, he terrorised large
parts of Uganda but his reign has subsided since 2005.
He is now believed to command only a few hundred followers, scattered in
remote jungle hideouts in neighboring countries.
The Kony 2012 video made by California-based film-maker Jason Russell has been
endorsed by celebrities, including, Justin Bieber, George Clooney and Oprah
Winfrey.
Mr Mbabazi said Uganda was onto Kony’s trail and his government and added that
he did not need a slick video on YouTube to draw the issue to his attention.
“We have actually formed a joint force which is commanded by Uganda with
help of the African Union to have a joint effort in trying to trace Kony and
we have had support from our partners, the international community,” he
said.
“We are quite optimistic that we will catch up with Kony sooner than
later,” he added.
