the second to last section of the book among the cannibals focused on the warlord Joseph kony. The african warlord has used cannibalism as the phycholoigal torture device on the child soldiers that he has kidnapped for his army. within the book are eyewitness accounts of this by the children themselves who are rescued. they talk about chopping up their school mates with machete’s, beating to death with sticks to another. When these children return home there is the strong possibility that their family will not accept them back into the family unit. Calling them a disgrace to their family for feasting on human flesh. The way in which Joseph kony “controls” the kids by making them murder and eat other children makes them ashamed to go back to their families thus making kony their “only father”

The children of the LRA are basically brain washed into believing that what they are doing is wrong yes but there is no other way to go about it for fear of dying, mutilation, sold as sexual slaves etc etc. Kony believes himself to be a god amongst the children referring to different texts including the bible, koran, and other such texts to “preach” to the children calling upon the gods of “bruce” and other “American” gods most likely he has pulled them from famous people such as bruce lee.
