In this Wednesday, June 25, 2014 photo, a Ugandan soldier displays weapons, including machine guns and rocket-propelled grenade launchers, that have recently been seized from members of the Lord's Resistance Army rebel group in Central African Republic. African troops hoped the latest defector from the Lord's Resistance Army rebel group would have something fresh to say about the possible whereabouts of the infamous warlord Joseph Kony. But Sam Opio, a senior rebel commander who defected last week, shook his head and said he hadn't seen rebel leader Kony since 2010. And he is not alone. All recent defectors have denied seeing or communicating with Kony in the last few years, complicating the work of U.S.-backed Ugandan troops who are hunting down rebels in the dense, often-impenetrable jungles of Central Africa.
