Obama Plans End To LRA Violence

American President Barack Obama has presented a law he believes will work to disarm the Lord's Resistance Army. On Wednesday, Obama presented a plan to Congress that works in conjunction with the law passed by Congress earlier this year and calls for "the defection, disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration of remaining LRA fighters." Members of international non-governmental organizations are calling for this plan to be implemented urgently, citing the challenges that are presented with this policy. While the plan put forth by Obama has been praised, many recognize that the challenge is to "turn this piece of paper into improvements on the ground."
