In a 19-page statement, the LRA calls Invisible Children a “front organization” acting as a pawn for the U.S. government.
LRA spokesperson, Justine Labeja said in the statement:
“Indeed, this is not the first time the Invisible Children has been used to play such dirty role.
In Uganda, the Invisible Children has been used to cover up on many occasions for the vile acts of the US supported military regime of Uganda in its dirty war activities that its army has carried out against the civil population in Northern, North Eastern, Eastern and Mid-Western Uganda.”
Journalist Frank Nyakairu passed along the letter to CNN saying it was sent to him from LRA representatives in Nairobi, Kenya.
Nyakairu is an internationally respected journalist for his coverage of the LRA and has been writing about Joseph Kony since his reign of power began. To read the entire LRA statement, click here.
