I was working on a research paper this evening about the ongoing wars in Uganda. Throughout this project I have come across some very appalling information, and am stunned that such things are actually going on in the world. It is hard to think that humans like you and me can carry out such inhumane acts. The Lords Resistance army has been pillaging villages throughout Africa for decades, causing havoc along the way. These insurgents are famous for abducting innocent people, men, women, and children. They force these people into joining their insurgent group; manipulating men and boys into fighting for their cause, women and girls are enslaved into marriage and forcible raped. These innocent people have done nothing to the members of the Lords Resistance army, yet they are the victims of war crimes. I find it astonishing to see that such acts are occurring, and have been ongoing for decades. I just thought this was interesting and related to many topics that we have discussed in the class.
