RD Congo/ Joseph Kony, colui che arruola bambini. Il Consiglio d’Europa ora ha detto basta: sia arrestato!

di Antonio Conte – Una breve nota per comunicare una notizia di notevole interesse. Il Consiglio d’Europa ha deciso di sostenere le forze internazionali per combattere, fermare ed arrestare Joseph Kony, capo della Resistenza Armata del Signore (LRA). Avevamo già parlato di questo personaggio che opera in Uganda, Congo e Sud Sudan seminando terrore e violenza e assoldando bambini costringendoli a efferati delitti dei propri cari. Spesso per piegare la loro volontà pratica sui loro corpi orrende mutilazioni.

Joseph Kony è in cima della lista dei criminali più pericolosi. A questa pagina alcune notizie che lo riguardano. Ma vogliamo ricordare anche Jason Russell, l’autore di ‘Kony 2012′, il video che chiede l’arresto del guerrigliero ugandese, Joseph Kony, entro la fine dell’anno e che ha avuto una diffusione ‘virale’ su Internet (oltre 100 milioni di utenti su YouTube da quando e’ stato immesso sulla rete, il 5 marzo).

Declaration by the High Representative on behalf of the European Union:
EU supports Joint Operations Centre to   combat Kony’s Lord’s Resistance Army

The European Union (EU) fully supports international efforts to end the long-running   campaign of terror being carried out by Joseph Kony and the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and to help the populations affected by the LRA presence.

The EU supports the   African Union’s Regional Cooperation Initiative to strengthen regional efforts to combat the LRA. It is providing financial assistance to the Office of the African Union Special Envoy for LRA issues and the establishment of a Joint Operations Centre to enable the 5,000-strong Regional Task Force from Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic and South Sudan to act swiftly and effectively against the LRA.

The EU has provided humanitarian assistance to populations affected by LRA activities, as   well as bilateral assistance to the four LRA-affected countries: to encourage defections   from the LRA, protect villages, strengthen the rule of law and improve governance,   and help the return and support of those displaced by the activities of the LRA. As cochair of the International Working Group on the LRA, the EU is at the forefront of   diplomatic efforts to keep the LRA issue on the international agenda. The EU condemns in   the strongest possible terms the atrocities committed by the Lord’s Resistance Army and   calls for the arrest of Joseph Kony and other LRA leaders indicted by the International   Criminal Court. The EU commits itself to remain engaged until this scourge has finally been removed.
