Northern Uganda
Your Dec. 11 article was moving, on Secretary of State Madeleine Albright’s recent visit to northern Uganda, where she witnessed firsthand the horrors of the brutal war. One hopes that the plight of thousands of children caught up in the civil war will this time catch the world’s attention so that something is done soon to stop the 10-year, senseless war.
However, as a Catholic priest from Uganda, I would like to correct the misinformation that the leader of the Sudan-backed Ugandan rebels, Joseph Kony, is a “renegade Roman Catholic priest.” He is not. He was at one time, I gather, a catechist in one of the rural churches of Gulu Catholic diocese.
