In northern Uganda, Esther Acan's husband and five year old child were hacked to death by LRA rebels and she was forced to kill her infant. She wants justice - at least punishment for the one who commanded the rebels. But the rest of the village who suffered similar atrocities say revenge will not solve their problems. It is better, they say, to forgive the perpetrators and let them come in from the bush in order to gain peace.
But Esther still wants justice, and she has high level support. The International Criminal Court has issued a warrant for Dominic Ongwen, the commander of the rebels who killed her husband and baby. He is to be tried for crimes against humanity. But he was also a victim of a crime, himself abducted by the LRA at the age of 10 and forced to fight for them.
Traditional justice has always allowed murderers to return to the community having compensated, shown remorse and appeased the spirits. Ugandan law accepted this concept through the Amnesty Act, and many LRA rebels are now back in the community having paid no price for the 20 years of killings, abductions and mass displacement of the population. But Ongwen will have to go to The Hague, so he is not coming out of the wilderness.
It leaves a dilemma for justice, but also for Esther. Despite wanting to testify and bring the perpetrators to account, she is scared. The war is not over. Ongwen and the others are still at large. She fears terrible retribution if she is seen with the ICC.
'The Dilemma Of The White Ant is a significant and powerful documentary that examines perspectives on the peace versus justice debate for those victimized by the Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda. Through the eyes of perpetrators and victims, attempts to achieve peace and reconciliation are critically examined against the endeavors of the International Criminal Court to hold those responsible accountable for the massive human rights violations perpetrated there. It is an outstanding expose of the tensions and key issues that exist internationally about whether achieving justice must necessarily trump achieving peace and reconciliation in conflict ridden societies.' Dr. Jeremy Sarkin, Distinguished Visiting Professor of Law, Hofstra University Law School, Member, United Nations Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances
'Life 6 is a wonderfully educational series that presents the viewers with the dilemmas faced by specific individuals in the socio-historical and economic context of their communities in the midst of an increasingly globalized world. The tremendous value of this series is that, in the brief thirty minutes that each episode lasts, it captures the complexities of the lives of those in it as they face Western influence that force them to reassert, defend, or challenge their local and/or individual identities, cultures, governance, wealth distribution, and practices of achieving justice and reconciliation--to name a few...Life 6 represents these issues in an objective and analytical way that will--without question--lead into a discussion and debate about them by academics and lay audiences alike.' Aniuska Luna, African Peace and Conflict Network
'Designed to stimulate discussion and interest involving ethical conflict in the growing global world...Recommended for purchase for all libraries.' Gerald Notaro, University of South Florida, Educational Media Reviews Online

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.999
[sil.]
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:09.999
Globalization is making the
rich world even richer.
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:14.999
But billions are locked out. They\'re living on
the edge between the rich world and the poor.
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:19.999
They face tough choices.
They want to join the party.
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:24.999
Countries like Uganda though they may have
to make peace with some terrible people
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:29.999
if there to progress. But how do you make peace
with the devil, if your friends in the West
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:35.000
want to put him on trial?
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:04.999
[sil.]
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:09.999
It\'s as if nothing\'s changed.
They\'re working in these fields
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.999
just as they did that day 21 years ago.
Medaline and Jonah Donga
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.999
knew about the fighting between rebel groups, and
the government army here in northern Uganda.
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:24.999
They didn\'t know the rebels
had entered their village.
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:29.999
Their nine year old nephew was abducted
the years they believe Dominic dead.
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.999
But recently, they\'ve been
reports that Dominic\'s alive.
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:39.999
Seeing these photographs,
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:44.999
Madalena and Jonah convinced he\'s their nephew
this handsome man who smiles out of the news.
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.999
His (inaudible) image of you now.
That ones really captured him.
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:54.999
The man in the photograph is Dominic
Ongwen. The last name means
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:59.999
born at the time of the white ant.
Little is known for sure of Ongwen.
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:04.999
There\'s at least one other account of his
parentage. What we do know as he grew up
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:09.999
with rebel soldiers of the Lord\'s
Resistance Army as his new family.
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:14.999
He was a star pupil, a lieutenant to the leader
Joseph Kony, and eventually, a brigade commander.
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:19.999
And as such, he\'s now
wanted as a war criminal
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:24.999
by the International
Criminal Court in The Hague.
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:29.999
An abducted child among the world\'s most wanted,
this first attempt at globalizing Criminal Justice
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.999
has divided the community here.
My heart is very angry.
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:39.999
He should be arrested, if at all possible.
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:44.999
Beside, he was abducted
when he was very young.
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:49.999
So he\'s innocent. We\'re
ready to welcome him home.
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:54.999
And then everybody willing to meet Anguin.
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:59.999
The ICC has indicted command us of the LRA
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:04.999
that\'s alleged to have committed serious
crimes of international concerns.
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:09.999
So who is Dominic Ongwen,
Monstrous war criminal
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:15.000
or child victim of war?
It\'s a dilemma for justice.
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:24.999
On the 24th of July, 2002,
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:29.999
rebels from the Lord\'s Resistance
Army overran the village of Pajong.
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.999
They came to kill. The rebel
leaders who\'d ordered them here
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:39.999
included Dominic Ongwen, the \"White Ant\".
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:44.999
[music]
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.999
My two year old was sitting on the veranda. The
rebels started kicking him. They kicked him to death.
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:54.999
I had my five year old with me
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.999
when the female rebel commander ordered all of
us with children to pick them up and smash them
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.999
against the veranda poles. We had
to hit them until they were dead.
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:09.999
All of us with children we hugged
to kill them. If you did it slowly,
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:14.999
they would beat you and force you to hit
your children harder against the poles.
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:19.999
In all, seven children were killed
by their mothers like that.
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:24.999
My own child was only five.
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:29.999
Esther Achan\'s life was
destroyed that night.
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:34.999
Her husband too was hacked to death
on by machete wielding child rebels.
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:39.999
Her daughter Doreen was seven.
When rebels came to her
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:44.999
Doreen raced into the bush. She survived.
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:49.999
Esther and the other women were instructed
to lie face down, and prepare to be beheaded
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:54.999
in silence they did so.
Somehow, they were spared.
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:59.999
And see Onyango
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.999
was close by that night. I heard shooting.
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:09.999
We ran away to the bush. In the morning, we
came to see what was happening in Pajong.
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.999
We saw the dead bodies lying there.
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:19.999
So we started to collect the dead bodies.
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:24.999
Their numbers if you ask were about 56
people, who\'re killed and were dead.
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:29.999
Pajong used to be a sprawling
village of around 500 people
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:34.999
all with subsistence farmers. Now the villagers
have gathered their huts together for safety,
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:39.999
but too scared to work in the fields.
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:44.999
The war is not over yet. A cease fire and peace talks
have raised hopes, but until those hopes are fulfilled,
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:49.999
nobody strays far from the compound.
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:54.999
Memories of that July night govern their
lives. Eterina\'s husband was maimed
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:59.999
her son and daughter were killed.
Grace was abducted
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:04.999
along with 36 other children taken
by the rebels to be LRA fighters.
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:09.999
She unlike many escaped. The rebels
moved on to the next settlement
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:14.999
then the next killing, kidnapping, and looting
all that night. Esther wants justice.
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:19.999
[non-English narration]
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:24.999
I\'m very beaten and angry. I want the
people who did this to be arrested
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:29.999
and brought before the court for the wrong they have done,
for the terrible things they did to innocent children.
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.999
There seems little chance of justice.
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.999
No police have been to
investigate a military.
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:44.999
No one came. But there\'s hope that
Esther\'s dream will be fulfilled.
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:49.999
[music]
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:54.999
Because some do want justice.
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:59.999
They\'re the officials of the
International Criminal Court,
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:04.999
the ICC, and they\'re
here in northern Uganda.
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:09.999
The ICC has a mandate, and the mandate is to
prosecute those that are most responsible
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:14.999
for serious commission of crimes of
international concern, crimes of genocide,
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:19.999
of war crimes, and crimes against humanity.
Its own contribution
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:24.999
is justice, justice to the victims, justice
to the many people that have been affected
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:29.999
by the war. The court has a short history.
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:34.999
It was created in 2002. Its mandate to
bring some of the greatest criminals
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:39.999
in the world to justice Maria
Kamar\'s job is raising awareness of
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:44.999
how the court can help people here. Because of the
level of atrocities committed on the villages
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:49.999
where the people say, they have
to leave and go out in the fields
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:54.999
and comes the whole of Acholi region where directly
affected that entire population was displaced.
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:59.999
Rice sesame seed and oranges
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:04.999
once flourished here. Now the
fields are largely un-worked.
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:09.999
Up to two million people have been driven from their
homes. Almost all forced to live on handouts.
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:14.999
The war has been a huge obstacle
to Uganda\'s development.
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:19.999
The hope was the International
Criminal Court could help end the war
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.999
bringing rebel leaders to justice
while their followers were forgiven.
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:29.999
The ICC has not indicted LRA as an
institution. The I.C.C. has indicted
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:34.999
commandos of the LRA that are
alleged to have committed
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:39.999
serious crimes of international concern. In
this case, the four that are most responsible
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:44.999
where dangerous crimes that
were coming during the war.
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:49.999
Joseph Kony, founder of the LRA and three of his
commanders are now among the most wanted men in the world.
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.999
After the indictments, LRA leaders
briefly emerged from the bush
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:59.999
for peace talks where these
remarkable pictures were taken.
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:04.999
While, a cease fire was agreed, the
indictments have complicated the talks.
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.999
Still they do send a clear
message the world would tolerate
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:14.999
the kind of crimes allegedly committed
by men like Dominic Ongwen.
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:19.999
His Senior brigade reportedly responsible
for the atrocities in Esther\'s village.
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.999
I had from the abductors
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:29.999
that randomly the overall commander in this area.
They\'re 12 and when deployed to those people,
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:34.999
to loot, to abduct the
people to doing them,
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.999
because those people are going to be
there for us. That\'s what they told us.
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:44.999
It seems so simple. War crimes in Pajong
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:49.999
try to the man responsible. But the peace
talks make that politically difficult.
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.999
Nobody in Pajong had heard
of the ICC to we told them.
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:59.999
Esther was clearly on side.
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.999
I want the commander, the one who
ordered the killings to be arrested.
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.999
If that commander hadn\'t ordered the killings,
their children wouldn\'t have been killed.
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:14.999
The commandos themselves
must be held responsible.
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:19.999
What\'s more she says, she\'s
willing to testify herself
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:24.999
if called to give evidence against
the killers. I will tell everything
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:29.999
regardless of the consequences. I have seen
so many dead and I\'ve got nothing to fear.
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:34.999
And yet, Esther is almost alone,
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.999
and supporting the ICC. Her friends are scared the
arrest warrants will jeopardize the peace process.
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:44.999
They believe that offering compete
forgiveness to all the prosecutors
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:49.999
is the only way to live the rebels in that camps
and end the war. They\'d sacrifice the chance
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.999
to avenge the deaths of their children, and
even forgive Ongwen for the chance of peace.
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:59.999
There\'s no way if they can
compensate for all the killing,
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:04.999
but we want them out of the bush living no more. Because
what\'s the use of the law if the killings can\'t be stopped.
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:09.999
We shouldn\'t have to continue the
suffering. We want them out.
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:14.999
We don\'t care about anything else.
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:19.999
And after 20 years of war, Eterina\'s view is
echoed by most people across northern Uganda.
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:24.999
The ICC warns with the threat
of life in prison. They say
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:29.999
will leave the indicted commanders no choice,
but to continue fighting in the bush.
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:34.999
I think it has got over
justice, it can\'t help us.
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.999
It can\'t help us. What is going to help
us if they does fall out from the bush,
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:44.999
if they\'re all of them with us will stay
together with them, there\'s no war.
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:49.999
We think that is the best way.
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.999
The people of North Uganda
say they have their own way
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:59.999
of resolving the conflict. These
two men are former rebels
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:04.999
abducted by the LRA, and forced to fight.
They both murdered civilians.
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:09.999
The elders are calling
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:14.999
on Ojokarlo \"The Fearful One\" to
appease the spirits of the dead.
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:19.999
These traditional beliefs are utterly different
to the punitive and exemplary justice
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:24.999
practiced elsewhere in the world. Here,
there\'s a deeply ingrained belief
00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:29.999
that forgiveness and reconciliation
are the best way forward.
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:34.999
Animal blood is the payment.
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.999
[music]
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:44.999
Paying compensation and offering true
repentance are the basis of these rituals.
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:49.999
They\'re meant to draw a line under
the past, and enable the men,
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.999
and the clan to move forward.
00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:59.999
Rwot Otinga is the head of Dominic
Ongwen\'s clan. Here in Acholi,
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:04.999
we have our way to finish
when someone kill somebody.
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:09.999
We have a law also. We have a
regulation where Acholi can feel
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:14.999
as their problem. That\'s why we\'d
tell as you see, why not you leave
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:19.999
everything to us? And we\'ve really seen
in a good way. And let the peace be,
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:24.999
you know, actually for wood. In
the as yet unsigned peace treaty,
00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:29.999
traditional justice would be
recognised in Ugandan law.
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:34.999
LRA killers could be brought to
account, pay for their actions,
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:39.999
and then be absolved all except
for the four top commanders
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:44.999
undaunted by the ICC. They\'d still
face an international court.
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:49.999
(inaudible) say traditional justice
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:54.999
should be universal. Justice
this man is earning forgiveness
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:59.999
so to they say, (inaudible) Dominic Ongwen.
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:04.999
People are crying. They said, ICCs,
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:09.999
they were making a mistake because don\'t repel,
they opposed to come, they fear, they arrest
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:14.999
(inaudible) ICC. If there\'s arrest
warrant on ICC was not there,
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:19.999
our people as whole already back home,
because they\'re fearing only the ICC.
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:24.999
Kony has never been ready for
any form of accountability.
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:29.999
For the ICC, Maria Kamara believe such faith
in traditional justice is an illusion.
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:34.999
This traditional justice this time we are talking
about it only started coming because the ICC is here,
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.999
and our people are saying let\'s look for an escape room,
let\'s forget about ICC, uh… let\'s do traditional justice.
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:44.999
Correct me if I\'m wrong. We only started
hearing about this system of justice
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:49.999
because the ICC is here now. First, we didn\'t
want to hear anything about accountability.
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:54.999
She\'s trying to persuade these secondary
school teachers of the importance of the ICC
00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:59.999
to their future, a future without
true accountability and justice,
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:04.999
she says, as a future not worth having. But in the
middle of sensitive, stumbling, peace negotiations,
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:09.999
it\'s a hard sell. She\'s
preaching to a congregation
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:14.999
with a very different set of beliefs than lawyers
in the Hague. …and the majority are saying that
00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:19.999
they\'re ready to forgive Kony when comes back
because what they need is peace, not dacoit.
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:24.999
The point here is the ICC won\'t say
00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:29.999
it\'s not about we add to the peace. People
would… let\'s be honest with our Ugandans.
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:34.999
And we have been following the peace
process in this country. There had been
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:39.999
many failed peace processes out of ten
of ten. Even before the ICC came,
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:44.999
am I saying the truth or not? Yeah. We…
She may be right. The rebels may have
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:49.999
no intention of pursuing peace. But
is the threat of life in prison
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.999
the best way to encourage them?
00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:59.999
To complicate this dilemma,
meet a woman who calls herself
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:04.999
Dominic Ongwen\'s wife.
Florence Ayot was a rebel
00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:09.999
for 18 years. Like thousands of former
rebels, she\'s benefited from an Amnesty Act
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:14.999
which builds on the tradition of forgiveness.
She has an official card to prove it.
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:19.999
[non-English narration]
00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:24.999
At first, I didn\'t understand, but
then and the rebel commanders
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:29.999
explained what amnesty mean.
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:34.999
And I understood I was forgiven.
I could live a normal life.
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:39.999
Can an amnesty card absolve her?
00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:44.999
Well, there are extenuating
circumstances like most rebels
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:49.999
Florence was abducted when she was a child.
She says she was just nine.
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:54.999
When I was abducted, my parents were told.
I didn\'t know any time of time,
00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:59.999
by the same day, my parents were
captured and beaten to death
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:04.999
by the same rebels who took me. My brother
was bound to death in a (inaudible) road
00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:09.999
and his three children were killed.
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:14.999
Tens of thousands of children hoping taken
as fighters, servants, or sex slaves
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:19.999
for the LRA commanders. At 13,
Florence like all abducted girls
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:24.999
was given to a commander
as a so-called wife.
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:29.999
But she also became a senior
rebel in her own right.
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:34.999
I started as a (inaudible)
and then (inaudible).
00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:39.999
Staff sergeant, (inaudible)
second lieutenant,
00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:44.999
one star and three stars. I\'ve
fought many of the fiercest battles.
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:49.999
She\'s plainly pleased
with her achievements.
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:54.999
She made it to head of all the LRA women part
of Joseph Kony\'s inner circle, the so-called
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:59.999
\"Control Altar\". In her new
rebel family, the victim
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:04.999
became a perpetrator.
00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:09.999
When her first commander was killed,
Florence was passed on to Dominic Ongwen.
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:14.999
Whenever highly quarrelling with anyone,
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:19.999
he would sit with his women
and tell us stories.
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:24.999
He would chat and play. We
all love freely with him.
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:29.999
[sil.]
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:34.999
Florence had two children with Ongwen, a five
year old daughter, and a two year old son.
00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:39.999
One day her eldest child
from her previous commander
00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:44.999
was shot and killed. Fearing for the lives of
her other children, she ran away from the LRA.
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:49.999
Now she takes in washing to scrape a
living for herself and Ongwen\'s children.
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:54.999
She\'s waiting in hope for
the white ant to join her.
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:59.999
His right, she says, because
he too is innocent.
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:04.999
Dominic, he has to tell us, he was
abducted when he was very young.
00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:09.999
Everything he did was in
the name of Joseph Kony,
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:14.999
so he\'s innocent. In my view, the
ICC warrant should be removed.
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:19.999
As long as they\'re here, they\'re
stumbling block to piss.
00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:24.999
But the commandos used to tell us, if
the ICC weren\'t to have taken away
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:29.999
then everything would be okay.
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:34.999
But what are the thousands of victims
killed maimed, and abducted,
00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:39.999
the millions driven from their homes.
Maria Kamara and the ICC
00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:44.999
feel they have a duty to the victims.
Tonight, she\'s the special guest
00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:49.999
on a radio talk show in the town
(inaudible). Many people here
00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:54.999
are still unaware of the existence of the ICC and
what it stands for. Good evening listeners uh…
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:59.999
She spells out the ICC\'s punishments.
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.999
The ICC does not have a death penalty,
punishment and the end of a tryout
00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:09.999
were ranged from life imprisonment
that is in extreme cases
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:14.999
to a maximum of 30 years imprisonment.
Therefore…
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:19.999
Tonight, listeners accuse the ICC of
being a paper tiger, a global court
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:24.999
without global police. It\'s very correct.
The ICC as an international criminal court,
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:29.999
it does not have its police force.
The countries that came together
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:34.999
to form the ICC, I agreed that those states
00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:39.999
will have the sole responsibility
to enforce arrest warrant.
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:44.999
Now it is the response ability of countries
is best value the states of Uganda to enforce
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:49.999
the arrest warrant against the first suspect
on Kony… Her audience knows the Ugandian Army
00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:54.999
spent 20 years trying to capture
LRA leaders and failed.
00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:59.999
Listeners are concerned ICC warrants
will jeopardize the long for peace,
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:04.999
and peace above all is what they want.
00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:09.999
John and Madalena who believe Dominic is
their nephew, have been too scared to farm
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:14.999
since the late \'80s. Today,
thanks to the cease fire,
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:19.999
they\'re back clearing
their overgrown fields.
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:24.999
We just want peace to
come because without it,
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:29.999
nothing good can happen here. For me,
it\'s hard to predict what will happen.
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:34.999
And here, the final twist to this dilemma.
00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:39.999
The day Madalena was driven from her village,
was the last day she saw Dominic. She left him
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:44.999
babysitting her newborn daughter Christine.
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:49.999
I found my baby left on the road crying.
Dominic had left her there.
00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:54.999
I was furious, but then my neighbors
told me he had been abducted.
00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:59.999
I ran to tell his mother and father, his father
started crying, and the mother wailing, screaming,
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:04.999
what am I going to do?
What am I going to do now?
00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:09.999
But the rebels were still in the area, and they
grabbed the two of them, and started beating them,
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:14.999
saying, why are you crying? Why are you
crying? One of them picked up a hook,
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:19.999
and he cracked open Dominic\'s
father\'s head with that hook,
00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:24.999
cracked it right open. Then one of
them told the rest of us to run,
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:29.999
he grabbed a spear and threw it at me. It
not only missed my back, but I got away.
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:34.999
Everyone I left behind in
the village was killed.
00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:39.999
Yes, the ICC\'s first prosecution could
be against a former child soldier
00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:44.999
whose parents were killed by his abductors.
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:49.999
The precise facts remain shrouded in
mystery, but this is a story which confounds
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:54.999
both justice and morality.
Florence could become
00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:59.999
a key witness, if Dominic Ongwen ever comes
to court. But she\'s never been approached
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:04.999
to give evidence despite having
been so close to Dominic.
00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:09.999
She says, she\'s ready to tell the
truth, but she would be scared.
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:14.999
I would speak out if it
doesn\'t backfire on me.
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:19.999
I have been frightened since I\'ve been
back because as a former commander,
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:24.999
I\'m scared that something could be still
held against me, and bring trouble for me.
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:29.999
Florence\'s story is at the
heart of this dilemma.
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:34.999
She was a senior rebel commander,
veteran affairs battles,
00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:39.999
and possibly responsible for civilian
killings. Yet, she\'s now living
00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:44.999
like most other young mothers in Gulu striving to
bring up our children in the best way she can.
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:49.999
Is her story an example of
the success of forgiveness
00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:55.000
or capitulation in the face of evil?
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:04.999
Back in the village of Pajong, the
church of St Janani Luwum worships
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:09.999
in the local primary school. They\'re
singing today of being saved
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:14.999
from the evils of Satan.
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:19.999
But Esther\'s determined to do
more than pray to God for help.
00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:24.999
With no man to support her, she has to work
hard to provide for her two surviving children.
00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:29.999
Like the ICC, she wants
justice for her family.
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:34.999
She\'d be willing to give evidence in court.
She\'s brave.
00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:39.999
The LRA have still not signed the
peace, and remain in the bush.
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:44.999
She\'s scared of repercussions.
Maybe they\'ll kill me,
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:49.999
but ICC want to finish
the thing then I accept
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:54.999
because at least they\'re willing to
pursue it now that Uganda has failed.
00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:59.999
Watering plants. Watering plants.
Again. Watering plants.
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.999
Again. Watering plants. Informed
(inaudible) of the Holy Rosary
00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:09.999
Primary School in Gulu, Dominic
Ongwen\'s little girl now at the bush
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:14.999
is learning English. Esther can\'t afford
to send her two children to school.
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:19.999
Her 15 year old boy has just had
to drop out as Esther can\'t make
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:24.999
enough money to pay the fees. It
may be left to their generation
00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:29.999
to resolve the Dilemma of the White Ant.
The indicted war criminals daughter
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:35.000
is aptly called \"Mercy\".
