A rigorous investigation into the hidden objectives of the US media and military campaign launched in 2011 against Ugandan criminal warlord Joseph Kony.

In February 2012, a video produced by a US NGO, Invisible Children, calls for the arrest of Ugandan Joseph Kony, leader of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), who is guilty of countless atrocities, including the recruitment of child soldiers, and is wanted by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity and war crimes. The success of this long spot - 100 million views in just six days - comes at just the right time to legitimize the military campaign that the Obama administration decided a little earlier to launch in the eastern Central African Republic. The official aim is to support the Ugandan army, which is looking for Kony. In 2017, although the criminal remained untraceable, Donald Trump put an end to this operation, which mobilized nearly 300 men on the ground. But under the guise of lending a hand to international justice, it has promoted hidden objectives, at the crossroads of political, economic and strategic interests that this investigation reveals.
