April 1998
In the Ugandan civil war, most of the victims and perpetrators of violence are children. North Uganda has been devastated by the LRA, the Lord's Resistance Army. The LRA's standard initiation involves recruiting children, after torturing and executing their parents, and then training them to become killers. Thousands of children have been turned into soldiers or sex slaves. The LRA wants to gain control over all of Uganda and then implement a government ruled by the Ten Commandments. For the moment their commandments are rather more hellish. One of their most recent and esoteric edicts has been against the riding of bicycles - anyone caught doing so has both their feet cut off on the spot. One missionary school fell prey to the LRA in the dead of night. Working all night, the rebels chiselled right through the dormitory walls. They abducted the 130 girls inside. A brave nun chased them through the night and begged the LRA Commander to give back the girls. He gave most back, but kept 30. Today their beds are empty, and their parents beg Musseveni to negotiate with the LRA for their return from camps in neighbouring Sudan. But Musseveni tells us his army will defeat the LRA in war, then the abductions will stop. Those who do escape the LRA's clutches are encouraged to dance or act their horror out. 10 year old Francis was asked to stab a woman as others beat her up, or be shot himself. "We left her dead, holding her baby." One of those who was forced to abduct children into the LRA says he himself killed 120 people.

  • If feel sorry for the people

  • @leahmarie21081 Your right, I don't have any data or statistics on this. Just hearsay and anecdotal evidence like the religions themselves.

  • @leahmarie21081 I think i've had enough of constantly quarreling with people on a youtube comment box so I'll make this terse, Those deployments are not as well known since they are smaller operations and most of the time covert, i mean it does not take a future nobel peace prize chemist to see it, the only logical reason that the U.S deployed to Iraq was OIL which was an economical interest if Uganda was affluent in oil and a major provider of it the U.S would be swarming to aid this cause

  • @AmericanCritiquer how do you really know what most christians have heard of and how they think of muslims?? did you take a poll? very ignorant and un-educated post :(

  • @cocoboy308 ...your need for a more in-depth look into what are military is doing is astounding! Our families deploy all the time to places in Africa for this very reason, just not as well known to the public because the left wing news media reports what it wants to - do some homework before you spout off.

  • There is a bigger issue here than religion or the LRA or Sudan. These people are stone age niggers. They do this kind of stuff everywhere they live on the planet. Yes, religion is stupid. Yes, the LRA is bad, but these are secondary issues.

  • @AmericanCritiquer @jackglen666  I agree with both of you.

  • i swear i cant stand all these affluent countries like u.s if they dont have any economical interest in such countries in dire need of military help they not going to even think of intervening ... instead of wasting money in iraq why dont you let that money go to countries such as these

  • go to the invisible childs website if you want to help out the cause its a 100% non profit site that helps civil defenses in congo

  • @DeathToNeoCons this is fake western proogandas
