#Kony 2013

My latest piece on the hunt for Lords Resistance Army leader Joseph Kony has been published in Foreign Affairs.

It was actually accepted a month ago, but publication was delayed due to Israeli operation in Gaza.  And I had actually submitted it to coincide with the one-year anniversary of President Obama's announcement of "Operation Observant Compass" on October 12, 2011. 

So even though in the article I write that "media coverage of the search has become nearly as hard to find as the fugitive himself," I was still surprised there was no major media coverage of the anniversary in the interval before FA got around to publishing my essay.

Joseph Kony: Still at large 13 months on . . .
