Getting through to Ismael Kony

We fear that time is running out to rescue the girls before a military confrontation.  We have been moving deeper into South Sudanese politics in an attempt to motivate Ismael Kony to find the armed group holding Yar and Ajak and negotiate for their release.

We have succeeded in getting through to Mr. Kony, albeit indirectly. The South Sudan Minister for Presidential Affairs, Dr. Luka Biong, was quite gracious in carrying our request to Mr. Kony (sometimes spelled Konyi).  Dr. Biong said he met with Mr. Kony on Nov. 20 and handed him a copy of the photo of Yar that adorns this web site.  Dr. Biong said Mr. Kony “promised to do whatever he can and he will feed us back. I know it is not an easy process but let us pray that he will be able to locate Yar and her sister.” A Murle intellectual and musician named Mary Boyoi also said she raised the case of Yar in conversation with Mr. Kony on Nov. 18.

We are still seeking contact information for Ismael Kony so we can speak directly to him.
