Uganda:

On March 23rd, President Barack Obama notified Congress of his plans to deploy additional U.S. forces to Uganda to intensify the search for Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) leader Joseph Kony. According to Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for African Affairs Amanda Dory, four CV-22 Osprey aircraft and 150 Air Force Special Operations personnel were scheduled to arrive in Uganda by the middle of this week. U.S. forces, working with African Union (AU) forces based in Uganda, plan to search for Kony in the jungles of the Central African Republic (CAR), where he is believed to be hiding.
