Victims of LRA Conflict Urge ICC to Seek Divine Intervention for Joseph Kony's Capture

Victims of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) insurgency have asked the International Criminal Court (ICC) to pursue "divine intervention." They believe spiritual help is necessary to arrest the fugitive rebel leader, Joseph Kony. The victims argue that Kony possesses what they see as "magical powers." They feel these perceived abilities have helped him evade capture for years. They now hope that spiritual forces can weaken him, making his arrest possible. The International Criminal Court first issued a warrant for Kony's arrest in 2005. He faces numerous charges for war crimes and crimes against humanity. His long-running insurgency caused widespread suffering in northern Uganda.
