A.U.For more than two decades, a small but ruthless armed band has terrorized a large area of Central Africa in a campaign of murder, rape and kidnapping. The group, calling itself the Lord's Resistance Army, committed over 250 attacks in the region last year alone. The United Nations estimates that across the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan and Central African Republic, approximately 465,000 have been forced to flee their homes because of the group's rampages.
Those three nations and Uganda, where the group originated, have been struggling for years to counter the LRA, and with the support of the African Union, the United Nations, the United States and the wider international community, they are stepping up their efforts to end this group's terror once and for all. The A.U. has launched a new initiative to help affected states work more effectively together in the fight against the LRA. For its part, the U.S. has sent a number of military advisers to the region to enhance the capacity of the forces that are pursuing the LRA and protecting local populations. The U.S. advisers are working to enhance information-sharing, operation planning and overall effectiveness.
