A Child Soldier in Uganda.

In Northern Uganda, a war that has started 20 years ago is still causing torment to the people. A man named Joseph Kony has his men kidnap children in the villages of the four surrounding countries of Uganda and builds an army with them. He forces them to kill or be killed.

One person from the United States gets abducted and it’ll make global news but over the past 20 years 30,000 children, ages 3-17, have been abducted AND forced to murder and we never even hear about it? THIRTY THOUSAND. Seriously, fuck the world for a) allowing Joseph Kony to do this unstopped for 20 years and b) for not publicizing this properly. This man is soon to reach the status of the modern day Adolph Hitler, he is responsible to genocide down there, yet oil prices are still our biggest concern.

Educate yourselves and learn more. Seriously.
