The United States is more than doubling its deployment of special operations forces to help search for warlord Joseph Kony. President Barack Obama ordered about 150 troops and at least four aircraft to Uganda on Sunday, marking the first time the U.S. has sent military planes to find Kony and his fighters. Kony is wanted by the International Criminal Court for 33 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity. For more details, VOA's Vincent Makori is joined via Skype from Nairobi Kenya, by Gabe Joselow, VOA's East Africa correspondent.
