Summary:Lured by a government amnesty, senior commanders from the LRA are coming out of the bush and speaking about their time with Joseph Kony. In this rare report, they justify their actions. 'He is from God. What he predicts comes true', states Captain Ray Apire, explaining Kony's hold over his soldiers. 'By making people suffer, he is bringing people close to God'. Commanders explain how they interpreted Jesus' command to 'Go and catch people', seeing it as an order to abduct children. For the first time in a decade, the government and LRA are involved in serious peace talks. But the conflict is far from over. A woman breaks down describing how her daughter was abducted the previous night. This is the second time her girl has been kidnapped so she knows she will probably be killed.
