Vincent Otti

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vincent Otti (* around 1946 in Gulu , Uganda ; † probably October 2, 2007 ) was under Joseph Kony the deputy leader of the paramilitary Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), which is accused of terrorizing the northern Ugandan civilian population.

Life

Otti was born around 1946, his parents died when he was young. Otti joined the LRA when it was founded in 1987 and was later appointed Lieutenant General by Joseph Kony .

In 1995 soldiers under Otti's orders carried out a massacre in his home village of Atiak ( Gulu district ), in which hundreds were killed. In the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 , the LRA was classified by the US government as a terrorist organization. Vincent Otti is seen as the leader of the Balonyo massacre in February 2004, in which 300 villagers were killed.

On October 2, 2007, Otti was shot dead in the LRA camp near Garamba under instructions from Joseph Kony . The execution was arranged by Kony on the basis of an alleged Otti conspiracy against him. In fact, Otti was the driving force behind the ongoing peace negotiations and negotiations in Juba in August 2006.

Accuse

In July 2005, Otti, along with Kony and three other LRA generals, were charged with war crimes by the International Criminal Court . Contrary to the alleged murder of Otti, the arrest warrant of the ICC still exists.
