Ugandan Badilisha hit singer, Jose Chameleone is planning to meet Lord’s
Resistance Army (LRA) leader Joseph Kony. Chameleone intends to convince Kony
to pursue peaceful means in fighting for ‘liberation’
Chameleone who is set to perform in Central African Republic believes he
will get a chance to meet the war lord. Kony is believed to be hiding in
Central African Republic after being forced out of Uganda by the Uganda
People's Defence Force in an operation to apprehend him.
Kony is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC). He was indicted in
2005 on 12 counts of crimes against humanity and 21 counts of war crimes by
ICC. LRA is claimed to have been started to
establish a theocratic state based on the Ten Commandments and local
Acholi tradition. The militia however later turned to killing its
own people, the Acholi , and abducting and recruiting children to become soldiers.
Chameleone left Uganda yesterday
after releasing his new single 'Tubonge'
a Swahili gospel single.
