“Since
1986, conflict has raged between the rebel Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and the government of Uganda.”

“LRA leader Joseph Kony has created
his army primarily through the violent
abduction of children. An estimated 30,000 to 66,000 children have been kidnapped over the
course of war.”

“Upwards of 90 percent of LRA
ranks are populated with abducted
children. The children are then forced to terrorize civilians by cutting
off the hands, ears, or lips of individuals who are suspected of
sympathizing with the government. To psychologically enslave both abducted
children and the targeted population, the LRA uses spiritual rituals as a
weapon of war.”
