The U.S. has sent a deployment of soldiers and military aircraft to Uganda in a claimed effort to assist in the hunt for rebel warlord Joseph Kony. The African Union has led a campaign to defeat Kony and his Lord’s Resistance Army, a group notorious for kidnapping children, forcing boys to become fighters, and using girls as sex slaves. The Washington Post reports the U.S. has sent around 150 special forces troops and four military aircraft. The U.S. soldiers are ordered not to engage in combat unless in self-defense. The Obama administration says the deployment won’t affect a review of U.S. ties with Uganda following the country’s enactment of an anti-LGBT law last month.
