Joseph Kony, who has been indicted by the International Criminal Court in the Hague on war crimes charges, described himself as a freedom fighter and called for peace talks.
He said stories of LRA rebels cutting off people’s ears or lips were Ugandan government propaganda. He also denied his group kidnapped children.
“This is not true. I cannot cut the ear of my brother, I cannot kill the eye of my brother. I cannot kill my brother, that is not true,” he said.
