US Offers Up To $5m For Leads On Uganda Warlord Kony -- BBC

The US has offered a reward of up to $5m (£3.3m) for information leading to the arrest or capture of Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony.

The announcement came as the Ugandan army suspended a search for Kony in the Central African Republic (CAR), blaming "hostility" from its new government.

Kony, leader of the Lord's Resistance Army, is wanted by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes.

He and his fighters are thought to be in the CAR or neighbouring countries.

US authorities say the reward is also being offered for information on two other top LRA leaders, Okot Odhiambo, and Dominic Ongwen.

Hunt for fugitive warlord Joseph Kony on hold because new government said to be not co-operating with African Union mission.

African troops in Central African Republic have suspended the hunt for the fugitive warlord Joseph Kony because the new government there is not co-operating with the mission, Uganda's top military official said.

Operations against Kony were put on hold until the mission's status is clarified by the African Union, under whose mandate the forces are deployed in the expansive central African country where rebels deposed a president and took the capital, Bangui, more than a week ago, said Ugandan army chief General Aronda Nyakairima.
