LRA Rebel Dominic Ongwen Surrenders to US Forces in CAR

Uganda’s military has confirmed that a senior commander in the rebel Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) movement has been taken into custody by US forces.

The army spokesman told the BBC that soldiers had visited Dominic Ongwen, who surrendered in the Central African Republic, to formally identify him.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) wants to put Mr Ongwen on trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

But the Ugandan government has said it would prefer to try him at home.

Government spokesman Ofwono Opondo told the BBC that Mr Ongwen should be in Uganda by the end of the week, when he would be charged.

    I love this movie but it also remind me of the time I was deeply unloved with a girl who never gave me a change to prove it to her. Now when I see a girl I am interested in, I get scared and keep on moving. Most guys have a perfect girlfriend but they mess around with other girls and cheat on there girlfriend. It is such a shame. If I wish I had that previlage that the light skin guy had, I will be the most luckiest man on this planet but instead he was treating her badly. This is a lesson to both boys and girls and I learn something from the movie also.
