Various of children in Bobi Health Centre\u003cbr/\u003eThree international armies have joined forces in a remote town in the Central African Republic to hunt for Joseph Kony, one of the world''s most wanted warlords.\u003cbr/\u003eObo was the first place in the Central African Republic that Kony''s Lord''s Resistance Army attacked in 2008; today, it''s one of four forward operating locations where US special forces have paired up with local troops and Ugandan soldiers to seek out Kony, who is believed likely to be hiding out in the rugged terrain northwest of the town. \u003cbr/\u003eFor seven years Kony has been wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity after his forces cut a wide and bloody swath across several central African nations with rapes, abductions and killings.\u003cbr/\u003ePart of the LRA''s success in eluding government forces has been its ability to slip back and forth over the porous borders of the Central African Republic, South Sudan and Congo. \u003cbr/\u003e\"It''s a very large area, very heavily forested, looking for a very small number of people in a wide, wide area. So it''s a very difficult mission,\" said General Carter Ham, the Commander of US Africa Command.\u003cbr/\u003eSince late last year, US forces have been providing intelligence, looking at patterns of movement, and setting up better communications to link the countries'' forces together so that they can better track the guerrilla force.\u003cbr/\u003eSent by US President Barack Obama at the end of 2011, the 100 US soldiers are split up about 15 to 30 per base, bringing in American technology and experience to assist local forces.\u003cbr/\u003eExact details on specific improvements that the American forces have brought to the table, however, are classified, to avoid giving Kony the ability to take countermeasures.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Kony has brought destabilisation to this entire region and so our goal is helping to rid Kony, to bring peace and stabilisation back to this region, so they can go back to their normal lives,\" said Gregory, a 29-year-old captain from Texas, who would only give his first name in accordance with security guidelines. \u003cbr/\u003eThe US troops also receive reports from local hunters and others that they help analyse together with surveillance information.\u003cbr/\u003eCentral African Republic soldiers largely conduct security operations in and around the town, while Ugandan soldiers, who have been in the country since 2010, conduct longer-range patrols looking for Kony and his men.\u003cbr/\u003eSince January, they have killed seven LRA fighters in the area and captured one, while rescuing 15 people abducted by the group including five children, said their local commander, Colonel Joseph Balikuddembe.\u003cbr/\u003eThere has been no contact with the LRA since March, however, according to Ugandan Army spokesman Colonel Felix Kulayigye, who said the LRA now is in survival mode. \u003cbr/\u003eThe LRA is thought to number only around 150 to 300 die-hard fighters.\u003cbr/\u003eBut with Kony still around, there are wide ranging-fears that the LRA will be able to rebuild.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Because Joseph Kony, like he has done before, has the ability to rejuvenate when given a chance. The moment he has access to children to abduct, then Kony will be back here in the next five years. So if you want permanent peace in this region, you must apprehend Kony, or kill him,\" Kulayigye said.\u003cbr/\u003eKony''s LRA sprung up in 1986 as a rebel movement among the Acholi people in northern Uganda to fight against the Kampala government, but has for decades been leading its violent campaign without any clear political ideology.\u003cbr/\u003eAn African Union mission expected to begin later this year should help expedite the cross-border pursuit of Kony and the LRA.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex
