Affect and Colonialism
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 May 2022
On February 4, 2021, as I was preparing this book for publication, the judges of the ICC found Dominic Ongwen guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity.1 Two weeks earlier, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni had won the general election and, despite allegations of election fraud and violent suppression of the political opposition, entered his sixth term as president of Uganda.2 Ongwen’s conviction, which carries a prison sentence of twenty-five years,3 most likely marks the end of the ICC’s criminal prosecution in northern Uganda. Of the other four commanders of the Lord’s Resistance Army against whom warrants are outstanding, only Joseph Kony is rumored to still be alive. But as of now, it does not appear likely that he will ever be captured and tried in The Hague. Cases against other actors in the conflict, particularly from the side of the government, are not on the horizon.
