UN condemns Lord's Resistance Army in Congo

The UN Security Council condemned the upsurge in attacks by the rebel Lord’s Resistance Army in Congo, Central African Republic and Sudan and urged these countries to share information with the United Nations to try to protect civilians, especially women and children.

The Ugandan-led rebels frequently cross over the heavily forested borders between the three countries and are notorious for mutilating and murdering civilians and kidnapping children to use as fighters and sex slaves.
