The Lord's Resistance Army is a feared guerilla terrorist organization based in northern Uganda. Founded in 1987 by a high-school dropout named Joseph Kony, the LRA has spent the past 22 years trying to overthrow the government of Yoweri Museveni, with the intention of turning Uganda into theocracy ostensibly based upon Christianity (though Kony preaches a mix of Christianity, Islam, mysticism, witchcraftm and traditional Ugandan beliefs.) Its leadership is built up of cast-offs from Alice Auma's Holy Spirit Movement, which was notable for both its bizarre practices and surprising efficiency, and from the Uganda People's Defense Army. Its current troop strength is estimated to be somewhere between 500 and 3,000 soldiers.
