The U.S. Congress has passed a bill calling upon the administration of President Barack Obama to lead international efforts to end the threat to civilians posed by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). The bill was passed late yesterday. 
 

A joint statement from US-based organisations, The Enough Project, Resolve Uganda and Invisible Children, says the legislation demonstrates Americans' broad and deep determination to see new action from President Obama to help arrest Joseph Kony and other top LRA commanders. The statement says the bill provides support to disarm and disband Kony’s militia, and to restore stability to those areas of Africa that have been terrorised by the LRA.
