family (II)

For some wives, the reunion with the LRA was elation; we think of the lra as terrorists, but for some former captives they are family. Many of his wives reported Kony was kind to them, gentle even.

As the escorts arrived, the local residents of nabanga did too, armed with bows, arrows, sticks. they were hostile and hurt. why should kony be reunited with his family members, when 14 of their own daughters - including the daughter of the commissioner of the area - had been abducted by the lra in the last year?

Riek sat for hours and talked to them (left).

Eventually the escorts moved into the bush with the family members.

Lily, Kony's wife pitcured above, decided to remain with the lra and her husband kony.
