Efforts to track down Joseph Kony and his Lords Resistance Army are intensifying.

The African Union is sending 5,000 troops to hunt down the man wanted for war crimes by the International Criminal Court.

Kony is believed to be operating in either the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo or South Sudan.
