What is the U.S. government’s position on the Ugandan government’s offer of amnesty to Joseph Kony and other LRA leaders?
In 2006 President Museveni said that he is willing to consider extending amnesty to the LRA leader Joseph Kony, and potentially to other LRA leaders. The United States respects Uganda’s right to decide on this matter, but we believe that those who have committed atrocities in this long-standing insurgency should be held accountable for their deeds.
