Between December 14 and 17, 2009, the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a Ugandan rebel group, carried out a horrific attack in the Makombo area of Haut Uele district in northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo, near the border with Sudan. In a well-planned operation, the LRA killed more than 321 civilians and abducted more than 250 others, including at least 80 children. The vast majority of those killed were adult men who were first tied up before LRA combatants hacked them to death with machetes or crushed their skulls with axes or heavy wooden sticks. Family members and local authorities later found battered bodies tied to trees; other bodies were found in the forest or brush land all along the 105-kilometer round journey made by the LRA group during the operation. Witnesses told Human Rights Watch that for days and weeks after the attack, this remote area was filled with the "stench of death." The attack was one of the largest single massacres in the LRA's 23-year history.

The problem is when the US acts in Africa it will be for their own personal agenda and not for these people.

or should he leave it up to papa smurf?

U.S. Troops Deploy in LRA Rebel Hunt: Ugandan Army

In October President Obama ordered 100 U.S. troops to Africa to help coordinate and capture the LRA chief and international fugitive Joseph Kony, who has brutalized and killed in four different nations for over 20 years.

Also this may prove to help stabilize the other countries which are occupied by terrorist groups such as the al-shabaab, which operate in the Horn of Africa and Yemen.
