We the undersigned are hoping that you will help us rescue Joseph Koneys child soliders.
The war in northern Uganda has been called the most neglected humanitarian emergency in the world today. For the past 23 years, the Lord%u2019s Resistance Army (LRA) and the Government of Uganda (GoU) have been waging a war that has left nearly two million innocent civilians caught in the middle. The GoU's attempt to protect its citizens from this rebel militia has largely failed, resulting in an entire generation of youth that has never known peace.
For 23 years Joseph koney has been trying to over throw the GoU. Working through the LRA he abducts children forcing them to fight in his war as an attempt to gain power. It is estimated that more than 90% of the LRA%u2019s troops were abducted as children.
In 1996, as a response to the LRA attacks in the villages, the Ugandan government forcibly evicted thousands from their homes, relocating them into overcrowded camps in hopes of providing protection. But over a decade later, roughly one million individuals still live in these camps and struggle to survive among the effects of abject poverty, rampant disease, and near-certain starvation.
Progress however has been made. In 2004, Congress passed the Northern Uganda Crisis Response Act, the first piece of American legislation to address this disaster. And in 2005, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Joseph Kony and four of his top commanders. Peace talks between the LRA and the GoU have been tried but they keep failing. Progress has been made but there is much more that needs to be done. At this point in time, the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement has expired and Joseph Kony has failed to sign the Final Peace Agreement for a fourth time, proving his promises to be futile and ultimately disabling the peace talks. Uncertainty lingers, not only for the thousands displaced in northern Uganda but across the entire northeastern border region of DR Congo, South Sudan, and Central African Republic.
With the support of you and the American government we can bring peace to the children of northern Uganda. We are asking for your help because the children there cant ask you for it. Please come with us and choose sympathy over apathy. My generation is ready to step up and stand out for the Invisible children of northern Uganda will you join us?
Lastly, thank you. Thank you for taking the time to read this, for listening to our voice and for any future help you might provide us.
