In a landmark hearing at the International Criminal Court today, prosecutors unveiled evidence against fugitive LRA leader Joseph Kony, marking the first in absentia trial. Charges include war crimes and crimes against humanity from atrocities in northern Uganda two decades ago. Witnesses detailed abductions, child soldier recruitment, and mass killings affecting thousands. Kony, evading capture since 2006, remains at large in Central Africa. Uganda’s government supports the trial, hoping for closure. EditorPro Review: This step towards justice is overdue, offering solace to victims.
