The two year offensive against the LRA has left several thousand dead, caused 500,000 civilians to flee their homes and led to the LRA kidnapping another 10,000 teenagers to fill their ranks. The LRA has been reduced to a few small (under a hundred people) groups, each slogging through the bush in southern Sudan, carrying weapons and food with them. The Ugandan army has helicopters, and trackers on the ground in trucks, pursuing the remaining LRA groups.
