520 8 |a From the 1980s until the late 2000s the northern region of Uganda endured a reign of terror imposed by the LRA & its founder Joseph Kony. The LRA movement's brutal tactics - abducting boys for training as soldiers, kidnapping girls as officers' sexual partners, raping, maiming & killing innocent villagers - captured the world's attention through social media campaigns. Far less visible was the creation of a new organization to combat its destructive effects by leaders of the Protestant, Catholic, & Muslim communities in the Acholi region. Overcoming centuries of mistrust, they came together to relieve the suffering the LRA inflicted, to bring government & rebels to the negotiating table, & to assist in post-conflict recovery. This study describes the work of the Acholi Religious Leaders' Peace Initiative and its contributions to resolving one of the most horrific conflicts in recent history.
