Joseph Rao Kony, who was born sometime between July and September 1961, is the head of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a guerrilla group in Uganda. While initially enjoying strong public support, the LRA purportedly turned on its own people, supposedly to "purify" the Achill people and turn Uganda into a theocracy. Joseph Kony proclaims himself the spokesperson of God and a spirit medium, has nurtured a cult of qualities, and claims he is visited by a worldwide host of 13 spirits, as well as a Chinese apparition
Lately, there was plenty of rumor regarding Joseph Kony, who has become world celebrated in a mere few days, due to the video “Invisible Kids Iraqi National Congress”.
Immoral acts of Joseph Kony
In his time as the head of the LRA Joseph Kony committed several crimes and reached the top of the USA’s most wanted list. Some say Joseph Kony is the ninth favorite person in the world and others say he is the most wanted criminal in the world. There are 33 charges on Joseph Kony for the following: 12 points are a criminal offense to humanity. They comprise enslaving, premeditated murder, rape, inhuman actions, mutilations and severe mental and physical torture. Second, he has 21 points indictments for war crimes, particularly the following: premeditated murder, cruel treatment of civil persons, robbery, studied attacks in civilians, forced achievement of youngsters and incitement to rape. He kidnapped at least 66,000 kids; however some suggest that up to 104,000 kids were kidnapped by JosephKony.
It is invariably fascinating to try to grasp some details regarding the childhood of such tyrants. Is there perhaps, a tendency to end up to as one of the most wanted persons on earth? It was reported by former classmates that JosephKony was an excellent dancer and he enjoyed soccer. However Joseph Kony was also a methodical student in school. In his village, Odek, he was referred to as the “witch doctor”. His brother originally held this position, however he died and when Joseph Kony was still a young person; he continued the duty of his brother. It is noted that he did well along with his siblings, however, he could be terribly aggressive at some occasions; for instance, during a trivial disagreement.
He is a robust spiritual Alochi. Where he lived, there were several cultures and beliefs; however he was a devout Christian. Till the age of fifteen he was accustomed be the male child. There was also a movement known as “Holy Spirit Movement” by Alice Auma, however this movement was defeated later. This movement appeared to have a significant impact on Joseph Kony and became the base for his own movement; known nowadays as “Lord’s Resistance Movement”, launched in 1987 when he was 26. Joseph Kony aimed with this movement to purify the African nation and make it a Christian-theocracy dominated by his personal interpretation of the commandment. He also believes in matrimony and is believed to possess around 88 wives (as of 2007) and fertility, making him the father of in all probability 42 kids.
Today, Joseph Kony annually wanders to the Ato Hills in Uganda, where he lies down under the sun on the highest of the hills for days. JosephKony covers himself with red termites, which may bite deeply into his body, and Oil of the Yao plant, after which he enters a cave, where he remains in seclusion for many weeks. He also believes in the literal protection of the holy cross. That’s why he tells his kid troopers to apply oil on their bodies in the form of a cross so as to be protected by bullets.
Joseph Kony’s original roots in faith are perceived to have had a subconscious influence on him, along with his desire to be non-secular as a young person. However in all probability, it was “The Holy Ghost Movement” that had such an impact on him that he determined to start out such a movement on his own and he believes to have been told by God to kill his own impure individuals. This sufferer appears to possess a psychological problem that makes him believe he is the Messiah of his community. As of now, Joseph Kony has gone missing in Congo and may even be dead, and with his disappearance, the LRA movement appears to have lost its impetus. Though there are still some followers, Joseph Kony is no more in the limelight.
