Hey guys, I'm not going to bother to close this thread or delete the new posts which have been made in this thread, but I'd just like to point something out for anyone unfamiliar with CAA's rules against grave digging:
For many, many reasons, we request our members don't "grave dig". In practical terms, that means ressurrecting a very old threads without adding something very valuable. Before the first new post yesterday, the last post had been make approximately a year ago. That's a very long time. Threads like this are probably best left to slumber silently six feet under, alright?
Thanks.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill.
Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence.
