These are groups that raid village homes in Uganda and abduct children for god knows what. When are some laws going to be passed to deal with these lowlifes? Parents in villages have no choice but to send their children alone to shelters specially set up for them at gated hospitals and other places secured for this purpose. Some kids are as young as 3 and walk without adults up to 8 miles one way every night! Then they have to walk home alone without any food or help.

You have quite a bit of nerve. I DO know what I speak of, and I DO contribute monetarily physically and whatever way I can for any and all causes that need help within my reach.

I've been working with a man in Uganda who does everything from arranging to set up and maintain schools and libraries to promoting HIV/AIDS awareness and safety. He travels many parts of the country with a military escort and is very often in war zones fearing for his life.
What good would laws banning seperatism have done during the American civil war? Not a bloody thing.
These African states are weaker now than the US was then. Life sucks. Do what you can to make it better and hope that's enough to let you sleep at night.

In some places in the world, I'm not sure it's just as simple as passing a law. I read about the situation with the LRA in National Geographic last year, but I can't recall too many particualrs (other than that many of the children were conscripted (if that's the right word) into the LRA or served as prostitutes/slaves for them. In many countries, especially certain ones in Africa historically, there are leaders who are either indifferent to the sufferings of their people or who simply lack any real power to help them. It's not like in the Western world where you can pass a law against that kind of voilence and generally the police will enforce it. Unfortunately, I don't think the children within the reach of the LRA are that lucky, and that's probably why the volunteers assisting them are their best hope at the present time.

When the U.N. does anything right for anyone will be after Christ returns and sends coffee (iraqi food for oil scammer) Annon off to where that terrorist anti-semmit belongs. The U.S. has been trying for decades to get humanitarian interventions to those poor folks.. but your b.s. about 16 miles alone a day for a 3yo is a bit much-- don't you think??? I took my turn when I was younger, now it's your turn. Volunteer for something with your church, or care, or yuch unicef.. do something other than talk..burn some calories into your passion..
