The video discusses the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a notorious militia led by Joseph Kony, which emerged in Uganda in 1998. The LRA has been responsible for over 100,000 deaths, the abduction of thousands of children, and the displacement of millions. Military efforts by Ugandan troops and US advisors reduced the LRA's influence, but the threat persists in Central Africa.
