I recently found a copy of the warrant of arrest of Joseph Kony issued on 8 July 2005 (Warrant). After the releae of the video that took the world by storm displaying the attrocities committed by the Lord's Resistence Army under the the leadership of Joseph Kony, this is what the Ugandan Prime Minister had to say in video posted on YouTube (Watch Video).
