March 8: Readings on Children Soldiers


Most of you have heard of Invisible Children, but in case you haven't or you aren't familiar with the organization's work, the About section on the website is a great read. Also check out History of the War under the About section. It is Africa's longest running war, and many children are being forced to serve in the Lord's Resistance Army, an ever-growing militia that is rebelling against the Ugandan government.


This is a short article that gives an overview of the LRA's abductions of children in Uganda.


This is another short article that gives a more in-depth look at LRA's leader, Joseph Kony.
