Joseph Kony Is Still On The Run, Yet His Militia's Child Kidnapping Spree Has Surged

Joseph Kony’s militia The Lord’s Resistance Army, or LRA, has abducted men, women and children in unprecedented numbers in the Central African Republic this year -- suggesting that the group is trying to refill its ranks with child soldiers in the wake of military setbacks, according to a new report.

The LRA has kidnapped 217 people in eastern Central African Republic in the last two months, nearly double the number during the whole of last year, according Thursday's report from the LRA Crisis Tracker.
