Caesar Acellam, a senior commander in Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army, is paraded in front of the media after he was captured by Ugandan soldiers in the Central African Republic at the weekend. Although Acellam is not one of the LRA commanders indicted along with Kony for war crimes by the International Criminal Court in 2005, Ugandan officials say he was one of Kony's top military strategists.
