Kony and the LRA Out of Darfur?

Monday, April 5th, 2010 by Nikki Serapio  -  2  - 

The notorious leader of the Lord’s Resistance Army, Joseph Kony, has apparently left Darfur for the Central African Republic, Reuters reports.

The LRA had recently sought refuge in Western Sudan, alarming human rights watchdogs that have long documented the group’s penchant for murder, child slavery, and mass rape.

Here’s one thing that struck me about this development. And it’s a part of the story that underlines what genocide has done to Western Sudan. According to Reuters, the LRA left Darfur because of the drastic food shortage there.

Not even brazen rebels — who steal and take whatever they want — can find daily sustenance in Darfur.
