1. Lord's Resistance Army

   The Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), also known as the Lord's Resistance Movement, is a rebel group and heterodox Christian group which operates in northern Uganda, South Sudan, the Central African Republic, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Originally known as the United Holy Salvation Army and Uganda Christian Army/Movement, its stated goals include establishment of multi-party democracy, ruling Uganda according to the Ten Commandments, and Acholi nationalism.In practice "the LRA is not motivated by any identifiable political agenda, and its military strategy and tactics reflect this". It appears to largely function as a personality cult of its leader Joseph Kony, a self-declared prophet whose leadership has earned him the nickname "Africa's David Koresh".The LRA was listed as a terrorist group by the United States, though it has since been removed from the list of designated active terrorist groups. It has been accused of widespread human rights violations, including murder, abduction, mutilation, child-sex slavery, and recruitment of child soldiers.

   The Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) is a quasi-religious, militant group that originated in Northern Uganda in 1987. It was led by Joseph Kony who proclaimed himself as a spirit medium. The LRA aimed to topple the Ugandan government and establish a theocratic state based on the Biblical Ten Commandments. The group is notorious for its brutal violence and atrocities including kidnapping children to serve as soldiers or sex slaves, conducting mass killings and mutilations. At its peak, it operated in Uganda, South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the Central African Republic. The LRA has been significantly weakened in recent years, but it still continues to exist in smaller units.
