Fugitive warlord Kony still active in Central African Republic, ICC says

Saturday, 3 October 2026, 06:17 · 1 min read

Joseph Kony, the Ugandan founder of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA, a rebel group that waged one of Africa's longest and most brutal insurgencies, killing over 100,000 people), remains at large more than 20 years after the International Criminal Court issued its 2005 arrest warrant. An ICC lead investigator says he is believed to be alive, aged about 65, and still present within the weakened group, which is blamed for abducting at least 25 children in recent raids on villages in the east and southeast of the Central African Republic. The case matters as the ICC's largest involving crimes against children and a test of a court that relies on states to carry out its arrests.
