In another
part of the world, on the other side of this globe, in the northern
districts of Uganda, 30,000 children have been abducted in the past
20 some years. Most every family in the Acholi and now Langi area has
been affected. Many families have lost a child through abduction, or
their village was attacked and destroyed, families burned out and/or
killed, and harvests destroyed by an army of abducted children known
as The Lord’s Resistance Army. The countryside is virtually empty
and people have moved into safe villages that are supposed to be
protected by the government, but that has often been in words but
not in deed. At night the children of the north flee into
towns to sleep, fearing that they might be abducted
