Lord's Resistance Army insurgency (2002–2005)

The period from 2000 to 2006 of the Lord's Resistance Army insurgency in northern Uganda began with the assault of the Uganda People's Defence Force (UPDF) upon LRA strongholds in South Sudan. This in turn, led to a series of retaliatory attacks by the Lord's Resistance Army of an intensity not seen to since the mid-1990s. International awareness of the conflict gradually grew, and in September 2005, the International Criminal Court issued warrants for the arrest of senior LRA commanders, including Joseph Kony.
