Abduction - Uganda

Dec 2003
Ugandan children are growing up in fear of being abducted or killed as the Lord's Resistance Army continues to terrorise Northern Uganda.

The LRA has abducted over 5,000 children in the last year and made them into child killers. Thousands flee to neighbouring villages during the night in a desperate attempt to avoid abduction. After 17 years of civil war, President Museveni's call for patience is beginning to wear thin. Uganda's plea for international help still goes unheeded. The US are unwilling to send ground troops to such perilous terrain and aid organisations are struggling to sustain supplies. "The LRA are beyond the boundaries of negotiation," claims the President. His confidence lies in "a military solution", which for many promises only more violence and hardship.

Why no English subtitles when the interviewed subjects are speaking? ...

I wish I had the heart and spirits of these children. They take joy in the smallest things. They discriminate against nobody. They know how to work for themselves, rather than just have things handed to them. And unlike many children of other countries around the world, they desire to learn.

Hear what God of Israel YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH (Son and Father are ONE) saying to our generation by His chosen prophets: Trumpetcallofgodonline. com ; Letter called "Purify Your Faith, and Come to the Father as It is Written": EXCERPT: "Only in the Bible and through these very Letters, of which I have given to My prophet of the end of this age, shall you find Him and know Him."

@nethead89 The war has moved to Congo and so have certain complicit US NGOs like Invisible Children. Rebuilding school is one thing. What needs replacing is the curriculum so that children can learn to use their own minds independently. The church and school have dumbed Africans down more than any other population.

@oxbert How can people in Sub Saharan Africa begin to use their brains if they are systematiclly indoctrinated by the church, school and government? The reponse you get from any Ugandan trying to discuss any serious problem: ''It's all in God's hands.'' Or '' what can we do?'' They love to blame the gov for everything. They can't help themselves.

@haienkmenk The story is supposed to touch. There are not supposed to be solutions. Museveni is complicit. UN is complicit and US weapons industry is complicit. There are still 300 NGOs operating in Gulu benefiting from the ''aid'' and ''AIDS'' cash cows. They are also compliict.

Museveni benefits from Kony continuing his terror. Museveni stated that Uganda should be able to defend itself yet Uganda is helping US terriorists in Iraq and Afghanistan.

[haienkmenk]

OMG.... By looking at the stupid comments I'm just thinking how stupid we human beings are. Instead of seeking for a possible solution or a way to help these poor kids, you're spending your time to write BS. This story really touched me, no innocent child deserves to live like this. :((((((((((
