Former LRA Commander Thomas Kwoyelo Convicted of War Crimes in Uganda

Thomas Kwoyelo, a child soldier-turned-commander, is the first LRA leader tried and convicted in a Ugandan court.

Kwoyelo was found guilty on 44 out of 78 charges, including murder, rape, and abduction.
This landmark case marks a significant step in Uganda's judicial response to LRA atrocities.
The LRA, led by Joseph Kony, terrorized Uganda and neighboring countries for over two decades.
Kwoyelo's trial faced numerous delays, raising concerns about justice and accountability.
Joseph Kony remains at large, with a $5 million reward for information leading to his capture.
