Leonie von Braun, senior trial lawyer at the International Criminal Court (ICC) and lead investigator in the Kony case, told France24 that the latest information indicates the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) is still alive, active and present within the group, today on a much smaller scale than in the 2000s; given his age, he is probably not on the front lines of operations. In the Central African Republic, authorities report a resurgence of attacks in the east and southeast of the country, with at least 25 children abducted in several raids on villages, in attacks attributed to Kony's militia.
