Educated and aspirational, with dreams of becoming a teacher,
George Omona would seem an unlikely recruit for the Lord's
Resistance Army; a group which for many has the become the
embodiment of evil, reviled for its use of child soldiers, sexual
slavery, and for waging a decades long campaign of terror across a
large swathe of Eastern and Central Africa. But drawn in by the
charismatic pull of its messianic leader, and by the group's claims
to speak for the long marginalized Acholi people, George came to
regard the group as the best chance for rebuilding his life after
his expulsion from high school. George's education and fluent
command of English allowed him to rapidly rise through the ranks,
eventually becoming a bodyguard to the group's now notorious
leader, Joseph Kony. Having spent almost three years with the group
before deserting, George's story - as told to acknowledged LRA
expert Ledio Cakaj - provides a unique, unsettling and often
astonishing insight into the inner workings of the LRA.
