Kony is defeated, not because the Ugandan government was stronger or more determined, but because the parents of all the children abducted over the last two decades of this horrific war of terror got together and prayed, layed aside their Catholic-Protestant differences, repented of generations of witchcraft, and went to Kony's cultic high places and broke his power in the name of Jesus. If this seems like an outlandish claim, check out the documentary "An Unconventional War", in which the president of Uganda himself recalls how several Christian pastors and parents came to him and propsed exactly that. Out of desperation, he sent some soldiers to escort them -- but the soldiers were afraid even to approach the high places because everyone who had gone near these places died suddenly and without explanation. These brave Christians went in and did spiritual warfare in the exact spots. They even baptized one of the soldiers in Kony's sacred water hole. Uganda's president went on to say that whereas before that time, his soldiers were unable to defeat or even find Kony's army, since then he has had them on the run. Now they are willing to negotiate peace. I don't blame them for holding out amnesty. The government and the people have decided to trust in God for justice. It is still to our own shame that no world power has bothered to step in and help. Nothing like that would have ever been tolerated in the western world.
