The Central African Republic announced yesterday it had entered surrender talks with Kony, leader of the brutal Lord's Resistance Army who was the subject of a widely shared (and ridiculed) "slacktivism" campaign last year.
Quote:
Meanwhile, American officials maintain a "we'll believe it when we see it" attitude toward the CAR's claims, saying any talks with Kony are likely yet another pretext "to rest, regroup and rearm, ultimately returning to kidnapping, killing, displacing and otherwise abusing civilian populations."

The BBC's Africa security correspondent Moses Rono, however, believes Kony may be desperate to surrender due to his failing health and the near-anarchy that reign in the CAR, which makes it that much easier for armed groups to seize him in hopes of getting their hands on a hefty reward.

The US has placed a $5 million bounty on Kony's head, and he is also wanted by International Criminal Court to face countless war crime charges.
