Uganda's LRA war criminals speak about horrors of war

[@perniesweemmer51]

I'm deeply humbled by Michael... You are a remarkable young man. God bless you sir

[@akenabongomichael9727]

This video makes me cry We suffered but we shall remain stronger with Gods' strength

[@crystalleto]

Blessings and peace to you from me in the US. This made me cry and I'm sitting comfortably in my home staying up to date with what's happening/happened in the world. We are all human beings inhabiting the same planet. What so many throughout the world suffer - horribly, horrifically suffer - breaks my heart. I feel so helpless. The only thing I know to do is stay up to date and contribute where I'm able.

[@mrblack61]

The guy who was disfigured! Lips / ears / fingers! He can forgive!?!.....What a total inspiration!

[@piotrg.1855]

It is difficult because those who killed were first victims themselves. Among the Acholi there is something called Mato Oput. This is different from European courts.

[@janaoh5785]

Notice the spirit of forgiveness abroad in the country. People keep moving forward. Because forgiveness is what Christ taught us. And Uganda is a Christian country.

[@thesilvernymph]

The voice of sanity is the man at the end whose face was mutilated saying, "We don't want to punish them. We must forgive them. We just want them to come out of the bush and stop what they are doing." Someone must begin the peace process, and it is often the forgivers.

[@victoriahutchful7043]

What kind of wicked world 🌎 are we leaving in !! This innocent people are all traumatized😭😭😭😭!! PLS JESUS HAVE MERCY AND PROTECT THE INNOCENT ONES 🙏🇺🇸

[@MafuHardy]

The interviews with ex-LRA combatants are fantastically revealing. Such a terrible situation and history, but a heroic effort to forgive and move on by the public. One man says that you would not get this anywhere in the world - while I don't believe this is true, there is hope in the fact that in the worst case scenario the solution is simple, and something that every good society has tried to propagate in some form. It's simply a shame that trust and reconciliation is not pushed as viable a solution/policy in other contexts. All it is understanding and accepting - we can do that.

[@kuriouskoopatroopa3129]

+Matt Hardy i completely agree. this is an issue which can cause much hate on both sides, depending on how the leaders push it, but luckily the Ugandan ppl r very forgiving, it definitely makes the situation more approachable :D

[@ChristyGirlRS]

i cried when the boy said he could forgive them

[@gittar]

These generals, these aides, of Koney, in amnesty do not appear to have remorse. I can appreciate their candor, but I don't see a change of heart from them. I may be wrong, but it seems they are being coddled, while down the road, children are still being murdered.

[@rosamariewanjiru8659]

This is the comment I've been searching. They want to blame spiritual beliefs. I've not heard them being remorseful of being misled. They still believe in kony's gods and will kill again if need be.

[@ahimbisibwebrian2303]

it's hurts but for those who lost there life in the war .we need to thank who ever started this system of amnesty and thank the government of Uganda to take it on. I love the alcohol people for the forgiving heart..

why are you people hating just because were here because of kony 2012, at least were doing something now. Most of us were't even born in 87, so get over it

[@NorringDeborah]

And why are those talking about abducting people free?

[@Woctus]

@amakon6 I'm sorry but I wasn't even born back then. I'm only 16 years old, do you really think I'm out for the oil? I'm here because I wouldn't want this to happen to my brothers, friends or any one close to me. I'm here because this has to stop!

[@littlebigbrain]

If what is said about the LRA then they would have an army of 10's of thousands. My girlfriend is acholi and it is musevani's soldiers that are doing the killing and blaming it on Kony. Why won't he let UN observers in2 Acholi land.

[@Olivere118]

He has a point when God wants people to return to him he makes them suffer and evil people have been used to help the Lord throughout history. I'm not saying that Joseph Coney is a prophet but I can see how this suffering will be used for the Lord's greatness

[@blkhwk303]

People say "fuck Kony" or "kill Kony" but they dont understand. If kony is dead, then someone else will take his place. the ugandan government is the entity that needs to be reformed drastically in order for the LRA as well as the other guerrilla forces to be finally stopped as well. Give the people a government which they are free, then the guerrillas will die out by themselves, and the violence can stop.

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

@fran21ish Sorry but your wrong. I've worked in Entebbe for the last 18 months and there is considerable US/UK political influence growing here,. Namely the US are basing military forces at Entebbe airport to use as a staging base and since '09 against the LRA operationally. It is one of the few pro western friendly countries in a strategic location. As far as weapons go, most are paid by western taxes. The UPDF use soviet block/regional hardware. Having said that now days the LRA are useless.

[@odongrobertbreen3489]

But to the Northern Uganda's dismay, we are so sorry that even though the gun went silent in our land, we still face horrible gun sounds accompanied with too much attrosities as gov't forces people to vacate their Land.

You know what I like about this video? And the other videos on this channel on the matter? They are educating me.

Why are we not spreading THIS?

I knew a small amount about what had happened in Uganda, but this Kony video and idea is a great thing, it's not our fault the world is so big, and the media so rubbish when it comes to real issues. I live in Ireland and I came to find this video for more information, after seeing the Kony 2012 video. There's nothing wrong with seeking more information, and exposure of issues that matter, no matter how late, is always good. Maybe one day Humanity will be kind and we will never hurt each other.

This is an example of how powerful the principles of the holy Book are when put to use. Had the international court not issued its warrants for the arrest of the top five commanders including Kony there is a good possibility they would have come out of the bush and behaved themselves after realizing their way of doing things had failed.

[@TheSilverBrick1]

Is this still going on?

[@xtinetine]

Evil is happening everywhere. Visit any UK prison or detention centres and see how many "illegal immigrants" have been separated from thier own babies/children and placed in foster homes. Go to any prison visits and hear/ see the agonising cries of the children as their parents are led back into their cells after the visits. Some of these kids are adopted away. Lets pray for God's kingdom to come...He is the only one who can ever wipe away our tears.

[@attwoodgabriel]

We can't ignore the brutality of the LRA (or any other body employing similar tactics), but what I see as being equally, if not more shocking is the unscrupulous dealings of companies supplying such groups with weaponry. The simple truth is that you need an arms supplier to keep an army going; and to think that dealers profit from the death and heinous mistreatment of others is enough to make one lose faith in humanity. Human nature i guess.

For the LRA to go around killing anyone doesn't need to be done, know one deserves to live a life like that. America can take apart of Africa's issue because ours is only a ressesion compared to there problem it is nothing. This being done will not only lead for a world crisis to be over, but America can show what we are made of, and the mighty country we are.

I think it's good that they are given amnesty and that they are forgiven. As far as Kony is concerned he needs to be in an institution, locked up in a room by himself. He's crazy. Anyone who thinks that the spirits are talking to him is mentally ill. He thinks that he is living by the 10 commandments yet he is sinning constantly. You shall not murder, commit adultery you shall not steal to name a few. I also think that since he believes that he cannot die someone should put him to the test.

[@DK6Marius]

If you believe forgiveness and imprisonment will solve it you're fucking wrong, blinded the the mercies of your Christ. Kony should be wrapped up in barbed wire and dragged out into the plains to be bled out by a firing squad, the commanders under amnesty should be ravaged by the fucking Hyenas, their remains buried in the most wretched places where people empty their shit pales to be trapped in this world forever, never knowing the peace of the Gods above or the Serpents below.

[@overlordsweg8399]
