- Notes
- Nelson Onono-Onweng, the Anglican Bishop of Northern Uganda, was one of a group of religious leaders, which travelled to the Garamba Forest in northeastern Congo to meet with Joseph Kony, the leader of the rebel group known as the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), on 31 July 2006. "The LRA has been fighting the Government of Uganda for twenty years in Northern Uganda, and has been accused of abducting children and forcing them to become child soldiers in his cause. Countless women have been raped and maimed, men have been killed, and girls have been conscripted to be concubines of Kony and his commanders." "The UN considers Northern Uganda to be one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world today". "Article from: The Church of the Province of Uganda".
