The trial of Thomas Kwoyelo marks a pivotal moment in Uganda's judicial history, addressing the consequences of the LRA's reign of terror and allowing communities to seek justice.
Kwoyelo's defense argued that he too was a victim of the LRA's brutality, having been abducted as a child, highlighting the complexity of accountability in war crimes.
Judge's decision was met with relief from many community members who felt long overdue justice had been delivered against the backdrop of substantial delays in the trial.
The case illustrates the profound emotional and social rifts within Acholi communities, where perceptions of justice and victimhood intertwine amidst a painful past.
