During the Ugandan Civil War, which is usually called "The Ugandan Bush War," the Acholi people of central northern Uganda suffered greatly. The Acholi live not only in northern Uganda but also in the southern tip of South Sudan, which, until 2011, was part of Sudan. Like many other tribes in the area, the Acholi aspired and still aspire to a greater degree of autonomy within Uganda, something Museveni strongly opposes.
It was that way during the Ugandan Bush War as well, and Museveni's forces committed countless atrocities in their attempts to suppress the Acholi people and culture. One of the early leaders of the Acholi in the Bush War was Alice Auma, who became the leader of the "Holy Spirit Movement" and believed herself to be a channel for a deceased army officer called Lakwena - "The Messenger." The Holy Spirit Movement was defeated in 1987, and Auma went into exile in Kenya, where she died in a refugee camp having been, as she claimed, "abandoned by Lakwena" or the spirits in general. She was also implicated in the trafficking of children and claimed to have found a cure for HIV/AIDs, which ravaged Uganda for many years and, to a large extent, still does.
Enter Joseph Kony, who claimed to be Alice Auma's cousin and like her, claimed to have supernatural powers and the ability to speak with and for the dead. And God. He talked to God – which is doubtful because the voice he was hearing was telling him, among other things, to kidnap and use children for cannon fodder and abuse.
Uganda is one of the most solidly Christian countries in sub-Saharan Africa. About 85% of the country is one form of Christian or another, but in some cases, that Christian belief is mixed with indigenous beliefs about spirits and magic. Both male and female shamans are still respected throughout Uganda, especially outside the cities.
