In 1987 a small group called the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) emerged in Northern Uganda. The corrupt leader of the group is named Joseph Kony, who declares himself a prophet and messenger of the spirits. The goal of Kony and the LRA is unclear as they claim they are looking for “peace” yet their actions would prove otherwise.

These young people are known as children warriors, soldiers, and combatants. The use of children in war is an unfortunate issue; but it is part of some people’s everyday life.
