Another tragic children tale

We all know about what happen in Russia. However, very few of us know about what is going on in Uganda. A study was recently released that showed that half of the children that were abducted by the LRA and then rescued are HIV positive. This is more tragic as the fight between the LRA and Uganda has gone on for over 12 years and it still going. What's more, over the period of time, more then 12,000 children has been abducted and used as either child soldiers or were raped.

I wish the media would cover this situation in a more dilligent manner. If the study is correct, I would guess that more then 1,000 children have the HIV virus. In the end of the day, the children are the one that suffer in wars.
