Government Repatriates Kony Wives and Children from Central African Republic

Friday, 22 May 2026

Two young women and wives to Lord’s Resistance Army leader Joseph Kony were yesterday received at the UPDF Airbase in Entebbe after being flown in from Bangui, the Central African Republic (CAR).

Ugandan Ikol Grace, 33, and her two children, Ayuma Maria, 8, and Oryema Bosco, 2, and South Sudanese national Aniyessi Teregina, also 33, holding one of Kony’s orphaned children aged 2, were received and escorted from CAR to Uganda by the Chief of Defence Intelligence and Security (CDIS), Major General Richard OTTO.

Ikol Grace was abducted aged 10 in 2003 from Amuria District while Aniyessi Teregina was abducted in 2006 aged 13 from Yambio, Western Equatorial state in South Sudan.  She will be facilitated to travel to her home in South Sudan in due course.

In all, 8 Kony wives and 13 children escaped from captivity in January this year after their camp was attacked by an armed group south of Darfur near the border of CAR, Sudan, and South Sudan.

The other women, Congolese and CAR citizens, along with their children, were handed over to their families in the respective countries.

In 2023 and 2024, over 150 LRA returnees, including some of Kony’s wives and children were returned to Uganda from CAR after escaping LRA captivity.

“We have to make a choice: champagne for a tiny elite, or clean drinking water for everyone.” ~ Thomas Sankara

This powerful quote reflects the late Burkinabè leader’s strong belief in putting the needs of ordinary people first, rather than catering to the luxuries of a privileged few.

On July 9th 1975, Ugandan President IDD Amin's private plane made an emergency landing in Nairobi.

Amin was flying from Ethiopia to Uganda through Kenya when his commodore twin engine private jet developed a mechanical problem.

To enable Amin continue with his journey to Uganda, the Kenyan government offered him a light Kenya Police aircraft which he refused to board.

The reason for his refusal was because of the strained relationship between the two countries which had reached rock bottom, and therefore he thought the plane was an assassination trap.

Amin only agreed to board the Kenya Police aircraft after Vice-President Daniel Arap Moi offered to fly with him to Kampala as an assurance that Kenya had no plan to assassinate him! ��

Tough times are temporary. Challenges present themselves for a reason. Feel your emotions, but just remember this will pass too. Remind yourself of your strength and endurance. Everything will be okay. 🤍
