they called it confidence building

Jospeh Kony is an elusive recluse. Speculation of his origins, his powers, his leadership, his wants and goals are as wild as his portrayal in the media (hyena, mysitc, madman, witchdoctor).

our visit was billed as a means of confidence building: getting the rebels to believe in the process.

But over the days that followed, it seemed to appear the opposite, that is was the LRA's desire to gather their acholi brothers and sisters there to tell them to have confidence that peace was coming. like some kind of PR campaign.
