Innocent children are abducted, enslaved, raped and indoctrined into the lifestyle of a rebel. They are given one choice: KILL or BE KILLED! They are crying out for help, but their voices remain unheard.
"I saw quite a number of children killed. Most of them were killed with clubs. They would take five or six of the newly abducted children and make them kill those who had fallen or tried to escape. It was so painful to watch. Twice I had to help. And to do it, it was so bad, it was very bad to have to do." Thomas, age 14.
8-16 year old children
Lord's Resistance Army (LRA)
- Over 50,000 children abducted
- 1.6 million people displaced
- Abandoned villages and Broken Families
- More than 80% of the entire population of northern Uganda in IDP camps.
- Abudance of destrucion, disease, atrocities, discrimation, death, hatred, corruption, witchcraft, fear...
- Lack of food, clean water, sanitation, medicine, schools, jobs, income, stability, trust, faith, hope, love...
And it continues today. As you read this, children are violently torn from their families and forced into rebel soldiers, mothers and fathers are murdered, schools and clinics are destroyed. Something must be done. The brutality and destruction of innocent children must stop.
