00:01Some Ugandans have expressed support for the ongoing legal proceedings against the rebel leader Joseph Kony by the International Criminal Court, also known as ICC.
00:11Kony is facing 39 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity as the fugitive leader of the Lord Resistance Army, or LRA, which terrorized northern Uganda for decades.
00:21The direct victims, the people that lost lives, the people that lost limbs, land and livelihood, are directly affected and directly invested in this trial.
00:35For them, it is a pursuit of justice that has eluded them for a very long time.
00:42They believe that maybe justice may be served. Maybe Joseph Kony may one day be found.
00:51Betty Bigombe, now a Ugandan diplomat, has been credited as the person who helped stop the war in northern Uganda through her peace negotiations with Kony.
01:01Some of the victims who would have wanted to know what happened, to get justice, are dead.
01:11Some of them had given up.
01:15That is why I started with the usual saying that justice delayed is justice denied.
01:25This should have taken place much, much earlier.
01:30Grace Masiko, a former journalist and now security analyst, said that the Lord Resistance Army has not been completely wiped out
01:37and will still pose a danger to Ugandan security.
01:42Well, first of all, the threat is still there, because we don't know where they are.
01:47And we may not even give the exact figure of how many they are.
01:51Even the family members that have returned to Uganda cannot tell exactly where they last communicated,
01:58including his children who say they last communicated with Joseph Kony 10 years ago.
02:02So someone still in the jungle 10 years ago can still be as lethal as someone who has just vanished today.
02:13Kony was thrust into the global spotlight in 2012 when a video about his crime went viral.
02:19Despite the attention and international evils to capture him, he remains at large.
02:23Kony was thrust into the force of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's control of the world's
