- Manhunt: Catching Kony (2010): With rare access to Uganda's Army, we join the hunt for one of the worlds most wanted. He forced 10,000 children to become soldiers or sex slaves, and killed thousands more - will Joseph Kony ever be caught?

"He is capable of kidnapping more children, killing people...so the hunt goes on". Somewhere in the jungles of central Africa, there is a band of ruthless killers on the move. They are known as the Lord's Resistance Army and their brutal leader, Joseph Kony, has evaded capture for more than 20 years. The soldiers track him in silence from dawn to dusk, rarely drinking, resting a few minutes every two hours, and battling with the impossible terrain of the jungle: "for 22 years, he's been in the bush, so he has some experience on how to elude forces, how to disappear". With the LRA leader only two days march ahead, we find some of those maimed and abused by Kony and his constantly-moving army. "They arrested me, and cut off my lips", says Hellen of the child soldiers who came looking to kill her son - a government soldier. We find two of Kony's former 'wives' - bloody and beaten, barely able to walk after their lucky escape from lives as sex slaves. The men are even more determined to find Kony. Yet he has gone to great lengths to confuse the trail. As the day wears on, and the jungle gets ever denser, Kony lives to fight another day.

Am a proud daughter.. can’t believe am seeing this 9years.. my dad (Patrick opira) is surely a hero..
Wow, you also "Cross criss"?😂❤️
Yes
Still on the run 12 years after this documentary
Much admiration for those tracking Kony. Heroes.
They should be tracking the horrific devil Museveni too. This is just lies on lies. 10 years after, did they get him?
Seems they don’t have the right people tracking him .. still on the loose after 20 years and he’s in the same area ? Geez 🙄
Kony wanted a democracy not a dictatorship. The west just fell for the narrative of him being a bush warlord.
@@sixdxxpxxx7830 Yea. Like the one in The Democratic Republic of North Korea maybe. Would you have liked to have lived in a Kony "democracy" ?
@@anthonyluisi7096 The area is 3 times bigger than there country or equivalent to the size of Texas and all covered in trees.
Who's watching this during lock down
Roberto Gutierrez saludos compa
Stupid question and who the hell cares?
Joe Music u obviously care enough to answer
Gael Leanos nope. Could care less
Joe Music then why tf u responding
The military are actually good dudes as well the people trying their best these tracking units are just so well trained and a great cause.
I felt that handshake at 19:20, there’s more good than bad in this world.
You have to investigate on who's protecting Kony.
Clearly there's a political agenda behind
The best way to force contact with a guerilla army is to wait in ambush at a likely target site. The smaller force has the advantage in that environment, it basically a Vietnam situation.
Vice reporters would've already found n snitched on
"Snitched", eh? On a violent criminal I would call it a "civic duty".
Honestly 😂😂 they would have “censored” the man’s face
**found n interviewed**
Vice is like buzzfeed now
If you can't find a guy inside 20 years you maybe should look for the enemy on your own side.
True but when criminals are hiding in a huge jungle like that, can't blame the soldiers for not finding them.
Or maybe he's just hard to catch. Look how hard it was to catch Pablo.
@@damienholland8103 Pablo didn't hide in the jungle
@@PatrickEvans-x1v I read a few books about Pablo too long ago to remember where he hid from the authorities. Obviously it was in many different places.
I think the guys who stay in the jungles without going into the cities seem to be the hardest to catch.
Yeah the guy is sleeping and eating with them he knows every move and plan soldiers are making coz of insiders within.
looking for him while you were having a casual chat with him in 2006{extremely rare interview}
7:36 holy shit this guy has been hunting the same man since 1986 even before I was born and still hasn't caught him two decades later😂😂
Yeah, what does that tell you?!
@Joe Music
Ever heard of, "The Dread Pirate Roberts?"
I suspect the same thing is going on with Kony 😎
I heard that and I instantly realized this dude has been hunted way before I was born....Talk of a challenging opponent and still hasn't been caught...
@@michaelmuya3013 museveni is kony.. use ur heads guys
@@Jm-qd6vb 😂😂 Really you mean hide in plain sight... Genius
The thumbnail looks like it's from Arma 3
When a lion wakes in the morning, it knows it must hunt. For it knows its a predator. When the gazelle wakes, it knows it must run. For it is pray. When a man wakes. Its the only animal that can choose.
No we need to kill our food...either way our food must die
As terribly horrifying this is, I’m so grateful you guys do this sort of stuff. This is 8 years old let’s see some recent stuff sometime soon.

Pretty sure this was all bullshit
A very good documentary feels very bad looking at the condition of the people living there 😭😭
Oh wait, what??
.
That dog followed all the way 1000 kms??
I wish I could rescue that dog from that God forsaken country.
10 years later and he is still on the run
Damn really
very good documentary thanx for good work
I watch this video with so much pain
AN AMAZING DOCUMENTARY..
Am watching during lockdown
It does not matter about how recent issues in this video are. Not everyone may, or chose to, register these news stories as they break in mainstream media. Education and knowledge about this and other tragic issues, and ongoing dialogue is key. Sadly, such horrific stories are ongoing 😣
Some people just don’t know. I had a friend I had to teach about Xinjiang last night, and last night was when I learned of the former Japanese PM’s death from that friend. We just don’t know things.
Almost every politician deserves to die. You've been teaching your friend how a tyrant died.
You are so correct I've been educating myself lately on things that's going on in the world past and present most people in America won't know anything about stuff like this nowadays unless they take the initiative to educate themselves our media Has become so corrupted and politicized.. the only time I really watch it as if I'm checking the weather and things that are going on around my small town
This is a really good amateur documentary. Well done. I’m sad that there isn’t a lot of news coverage anymore on Kony.
You are sad ? no news means Kony was defeated.
I invested €2000 in bitcoin through the help of @elizabeth_fx_room i made €20,700 after 3hrs go and invest in bitcoin now through @elizabeth_fx_room 🙌
@@thunderbird6688 not really, he was never caught and I’m sure he will never be caught and killed or caught and put on trial
@Damon he is wanted by the Ugandan government,US and the ICC he can never run away with it.
@Kenan Opio those are guys you mentioned are cowards, they want him...why can't they go get him? he is still out there in the bush and it is 2022.
Fun fact: Joseph spread fake myths about him having "powers" and Kony was Known to use tunnels and live undergrown giving the illusion of him disappearing.
Not fake myth ❌❌
I am an Acholi. I know deep things about this catastrophic situation.
American soldiers who had participated in the hunt for Kony found themselves cursed with illnesses and suspicious deaths even in their families, which is why America abandoned this manhunt.
@@alvaabassndiaye
Thank you for this information
Also the director of the film KONY 2012 that became viral - he was faced with a mental illness , he undressed and was naked in streets of Beverly Hills saying incoherent stuff and just acting Bizzare.. and he has no history of drug abuse or alcohol...
On top of that his organisation INVISIBLE CHILDREN collapsed.
Am sorry for the heinous acts meted on the innocent though
Its amazing how every comment made here, is explain in terms of Africa, and not individual country's, every country in Africa, just like any were in the world are very different
So they aren't all grinding flour with stone age technology? 👀
Seems like anything half way modern, and of huge importance are the hated whites technology ... - No wonder such people are to no use in our modern societies! 🤷🏼
The Ugandan leader is the founder of LRA army, Kony is working for Museveni
June 30th 2020-an extraordinary video. Thank you for sharing this with us. Such evil atrocities committed against the innocent women and children. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Watching and appreciative from the Fiji Islands.*pity it was so short.
War is not an option , but child abuse is very dangerous thing . Catch him is not only solution , Uganda government should impose hard law in future ,so warlord never be born again like this.
Joseph Kony is Museveni..the world should not be confused
You are right 100%
Documents are very important for information or stories and educational.
Good morning everyone. Before tracking Joseph Kony. Try to track his boss whom he was working for. And his boss was M7 the former president of Uganda.
That jungle is as big as the sahara desert. Finding kony in there is like finding a specific needle in a haystack of more needles
He is so elusive he joined army so that he can find himself
This is so dumb. Do they not have a couple fighter jets to just bomb a square kilometer of where they know he is? They act as if they know where he is the whole time. Like a game...
who is still with me 2020
If nobody backing up kony from other side of the atlantic he will not last a year!
greater peace he doesn’t even have ally’s
Museveni used him as a scapegoat. For 20years Ugandan Army couldn't capture
him??? That's not true.
How can you capture a guy who are hiding not only in your land, but in other areas where you can spark an international incident if you cross the border?
Yes, LRA are hiding outside Uganda, like in DR Congo, Central African Republic and South Sudan.
impressed by the millitary🔥🔥
He's probably somewhere in France enjoying French cappuccino,,how will they survive without him
They've been searching for Joseph Kony for a very long time. I think the government should form alliance with other country's military in order to capture this ruthless killer.
Kony2012 will forever go as the biggest scam the humanitarian scene has witnessed
King you are so right. People in the west believe anything that is said to them by white reporters about minorities or black Africans.
Is there a documentary on what you’re talking about?
That area is formidable. The Darian Gap writ large. Gives Kony an edge.
Search with Lidar on planes or from satellites? He's plagued Africa for far too long.
That dog knows things, he maybe a spy.
ALERT! RED SPY IS IN THE BASE!
I pray the poor dog found a good home.
Kkkkkk
Wow so glad I can understand the native language being spoken here....its a Nilotic dilect
N
It's Nilotic surely..Acholi from Uganda, northern part of Uganda to be specific
@@sarahatesot Yes Nilotes, Acholi are Nilotes. I am Luo and Luos are Nilotes. I love being Luo
@@John-xv1nt am also a Luo from Kenya and I can understand a bit of what they are saying
@@curtisodhiambo2172 Very good. Luos are disturbing the world.🤣🤣I love being Luo. Do you remember that Luo who overthrow gvt in Zanzibar?🤣🤣
I was part of a special army unit that searched for Joseph the murderous thug but we where pulled out by order of the Uganda and United nations. That pissed me off so I went solo it wasn't easy because he has over 100 rebels always protecting that monster.
Leader success ! He has 300 plus rebels with him
He has thousands of soldiers, but he has a personal army of 100 protecting him
Museveni is the one doing all that
Even Museveni did the same thing ,why look for Kony coz you are in the govt
just an opinion, why they don't change techniques if they cant find him for years.. like send some atlis 2 well trained sniper so it will be more silent and fast order them not to make contact at the enemy just fallow them silently and then send the current location then surround his army. before the gov't army will go tor the battle let the airforce give some good amount of bomb gifts to the specific location since there are no civilian around to lessen these enemy then the army will take the rest. end of the story.
How does the weapons reach them? Do a documentary on the same.
Cia
Nonsense. 20years and the entire national army and all other forces including intelligence were unable to get guerrilla fighters???
Lol😂😂😂 useless army
Weakest army in the world 🤔🤔🤔looh!!
@@shabanilwei8416 the guerilla war is the only war that you cnt win in the world
Kony has fought in the jungles of Northern Uganda, Southern Sudan, Central Africa and Congo... Do u understand how vast such an area is or u don't?
An area bigger than the size of India.
From DW documentaries: "Can a video trigger a war in Africa? This documentary investigates a controversial 2012 charity film that went viral, and asks whether the video and US-led hunt for Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony served as a cover for US military operations in Africa."
th-cam.com/video/KfblIgTqHls/w-d-xo.html
You will regret your decision of hunting him. He's not like normal people, you can't kill Kony.
Fairly good doc on the subject. However, does the narrator/journalist's voice and cadence of speech annoy anyone else too? =/
Chad Hutton always over exaguration
*exaggeration
Kony is a coward. He always runs away first and leaves his men to fight. Like most commanders and commander in chief’s are always caught last hiding in a bunker or hole after the loss of their men or the war. It’s amazing how cowards can convince so many people to follow them.
Who is a coward? You or him... You live in the west, he's in the bush
He was working on behalf of someone. And his boss was M7.
you are the coward, just typing youtube reply from your cave in europe or america, he's out there.
@@torstimyle1355 what are you justifying?
@@Peter-xu4fb that westerns are weaklings
they could have found him in one day, how do all these people hide without anyone seeing them, what about thermal cameras, this is not the 1500 's
somebody should tell them about our magic weapon that can fly and see in the dark.
American sent seal teams and they still could not find him.
Check his cell phone, you know he’s watching videos, judge Judy and Facebook.
Drone with night vision or thermal camera can easily found this man
They don't want to find him , group into 4 to 10 groups square your perimeter and walk in you will find him. You need radio transmission , I notice they have everything but radio transmission. So they are not trying to find this group.
Bruh I have tracked people in Africa for a living it's not as easy as it looks
There is no Joseph Koni. He is a myth created by the Ugandan government in order to justify their mistreatment of the minorities and its adversaries.
There's a special kind of Hell reserved for people like Kony
Meanwhile, George Bush is sitting comfortably in the U.S laughing 😂
He's not magical he's just hiding in one of the most unexplored parts of the world lol
If they asked for help he could've been caught and killed years and years ago. Clearly they need it after 20 years and no luck.
It's Americans like you who annoy me. The UN gave Africans guns to fight amongst themselves, all for instability in their economies which makes for cheaper commodities, less competition and cheap labour
American sent seal teams and they still could not find him.
Swahili? So that's what Tony Soprano was talking about.
Did Elwelu just say "If you get him, then you are lucky?"
you are actually very very unlucky!
I read comments here!!No body seems to talk about the root&solution of the problem!!koney is human&has his short commings!!No one is perfect!what led this man into this campaign?what happens when you use children as soilders&soilders who have no orientation?unfortunately this war!!African leaders should forget about material things&begin to put the interest of the people at heart!!cos there are more koney still to come!!long live Africa ✊
Lol..yes long live Africa when the average life span in Congo is 40...moron
thank you.
He's working for some people who's not African but outsiders ather ways where did get the guns
Kony is watching you here on youtube 😂👌
The rough terrain in Africa makes it even more difficult using the most sophisticated gps technology to pin 🌲 down this lunatic , it is an ungovernable terrain.
I think they should have also used surveillance drones
There is no Joseph Koni. He is a myth created by the Ugandan government in order to justify their mistreatment of the minorities and its adversaries.
@@imatanyani Idiot. What's so special about the Acholi and Langi "minorities" compared to other communities? Ironically, those "minorities" are bigger than the community of, say, the first family, and many others. But, hey, "minorities".
@@mulondokalemera7531 Don't tell me you also believe in this myth of Joseph Koni. As long as the myth exists. The country will be in a constant state of war, resulting in some rights & freedoms being limited. By the way, there is no need to insult one another in debating. I also did not mention tribe in my comment, therefore I don't know from where you quoted these tribes you referred to in your reply.
@@imatanyani Or whoever you are, you have major issues. The most charitable explanation close to yours is that the Museveni government didn't take Kony seriously as it should have, to keep the Acholi and Langi in check. But that doesn't mean that he is a myth, or that he was created by name. You are just peddling foolish conspiracy theories.
Not with that attitude you’re not gonna get him
You're not going to find him it's africas most wanted war criminal he's got an army smh
Yeah and it's the Ugandan army that's chasing him. Did you seriously think the reporter was going to go after him alone like some ghost "documentary"?
This helps me appreciate where I live would love to learn the beautiful language
Museveni killing his people and blaming kony.
The irony of the person's who made this family being the world's most successful war criminals
This is so interesting.
A human being is now hunted like a wild animal
Spoiler alert: they stopped looking for kony
They never went looking for him. It was about the countries resources. Remember that video kony 2012? DW has a epic documentary about this.
@@dadikkedude "April 2017, Kony was still at large, but his force was reported to have shrunk to approximately 100 soldiers, down from an estimated high of 3,000. Both the United States and Uganda ended the hunt for Kony and the LRA, believing that the LRA was no longer a significant security risk to Uganda". Hes probably dead by now tbh
Bad man
Good documentary.
Use drones to catch kony!! While the people stay on his trail!!
Too expensive to operate for their army
great idea..
in Uganda the army does get a big chunk of the budget's cut..
How about night time thermography.
1, No budget for that, 2 good luck seeing into a double canopy jungle. these guys are seasoned veterans that know damn well how to hide themselves
Maybe nato could send some hi tec choppers or satellite assistance
The jungle canopy and vegetation itself is warm enough to mask a human silhouette.
They need to be pounded like French foreign legion
From 🇰🇪 I can hear some Luo words 🙌🏾
its all about politics...poor soldier they are bait.😞
Use drones to search and spot them because hellicopter is very noisy and so joseph kony can hear such noisy and they can hide inside a thick forest.
Good documentary for entertainment. Why were you not looking for him when the atrocities were happening. The government killed more people in the name of Kony and you are here looking for Kony when the war ended 10years ago. Big joke really, I'm Ugandan and I find this offensive.
did you not see when this video was published?
8 years later is still free and kicking......
Use thermal scopes at night and dog trackers. Also, use drones bracketing areas.
Why not use infrared imaging at night to pickup on mass movement. Does it exist there?
You do see that leaf coverage right?
@@Leon-zi2piI was just thinking that if law enforcement here in the states can see how many people are in your house from the sky then surely they can pickup a mass movement below.
Nice stuff! But no one Knows where Kony really is. Some say he died... Some are not serious with there kwn stories, so I guess we'll never know. Even the USA gave up searching for him longtime ago yet he was once on the list of most wanted men in the world
Who else finds this doc funny somehow after watching the interview of Invisible Children CEO who isn't a stutter, but sure as hell looks like one...
This video was a fraud. It was all set up by a not for profit in the US
They left Uganda one year later after they received $70 MILLION in charity donations
The American came not to look for Korny, but to map the country for it resources. In addition, the Ugandan president was well compensated
By the American government
The non for profit moved to another african country after being funded by the US government . Google news on the not for profit and the fraud in this video.
I need more videos to this
That guy packed one hell of a punch......
if you comment on sensitive issues you risk your life.
why
Just shut up
The dog is hungry.
The guy said the dog was gaunt, but didn't feed him. Smh
Vooyeh vooyeh, booyeh booyeh.
The worse part was that thanks to this video, all the capitans and leaders searching for Kony were asesinated by Konys partners, great job reporters.
If the Western world and their media say bad thing about any leader or person in any part of the world, it means that the leader is not obeying their commands and actually care about their own people. Culturally, there is nothing like child soldier in Africa. If your people or particular ethnic group is threatened, everyone has to fight at some point in one way or the other regardless of age or gender. It is a thing of responsibility, bravery and pride. The only people who will actually say that Kony is bad and I will believe them is his people. I mean majority of his people.
All that goes out the window when you feed those kids drugs…
European countries are financing Kony... We African know it. It's a old game...😏😏😏
2:03....😓😞😓😓😓 I'm sorry Angel!!😓😓😓😓😢😢😢😢
that captain wanted to put a bullet in Kony himself
Thanks again ✌️
If the army major knows they are 2 days behind Kony's forces that is the time to bring in more government troops and leave them 3-4 days away in clusters ready to ambush Kong's forces when they get there.
The first former LRA to speak is speaking a form of Luo language, I'm Luo from Kenya and I can follow some of what he says. Very interesting.
