Joseph Kony's family returned to Uganda from the Central African Republic yesterday. The family includes his wife, Ruth Achan, and their children, Maisa Amu, Betty Akidi, and Pope Kony.
Uganda's Minister Kenneth Omona met them at Entebbe Airport early in the morning. The family will live in Gulu. Joseph Kony did not come back with them. He remains hidden, and anyone who finds him can earn 17 billion shillings, which equals about 4.5 million dollars.
Other people from Kony's army returned to Uganda before this family. In July 2023, fourteen fighters came back with their families after they gave up to authorities. A man named Major General Ali Acaye led this group, which had fourteen wives and thirty-three children.
Joseph Kony led a bad group called the Lord's Resistance Army. His group hurt many people in northern Uganda and nearby countries. They took children from their homes, cut off body parts of people, and killed thousands.
The army left Uganda in 2006 but kept hurting people in other countries like South Sudan, Congo, and the Central African Republic. The International Criminal Court wants to catch Kony because he did very bad things.
The Uganda government helps former fighters and their families come home. They want peace in all the places where Kony's army caused problems.
