Kony and the Lord's Resistance Army - The Last Chapter?

December 14 2008 saw a botched attempt to crush Uganda's rebel Lords Resitance Army (LRA) by the militaries of Uganda, South Sudan and Democratic Republic of Congo. The raid was designed to capture or kill the group's elusive leader, Joseph Kony and destroy the LRA's military capacity. Since then an estimated 900 people have been brutally killed in LRA reprisals, hundreds of children have been abducted and over 130,000 people have fled their homes according to the UN. Is this the last painful chapter in the LRA's brutal twenty-year struggle as the small groups are hunted down and dealt with by the armies of Uganda's neighbouring counties or does this represent a new phase of LRA attacks against civilians in the region.
