THE WAR IN NORTHERN UGANDA A HISTORY OF AFRICA'S LONGEST RUNNING WAR
The war in northern Uganda has been called the most neglected humanitarian emergency in the world today. For the past 21 years, the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) and the Ugandan government have been waging a war that has left nearly two million innocent civilians caught in the middle. The Ugandan government has failed to protect its citizens from this rebel militia that has murdered mothers and buried the young, leaving an entire generation of youth that has never known peace.

Do you have a child? A little brother or sister? A niece or nephew? If you do - imagine them being taken from their family, their friends, their school and every other childhood normality and being forced to fight in a war. Instead of playing with toys they are shooting guns. Instead of learning their ABC's they're learning how to kill. They are being completely stripped of their innocence and any chance of a fulfilling life.
I am teaming up with an amazing chartiy called Invisible Children to help bring peace and get these kids out of the war and back with their families and into school.

Please help me support this incredible charity by signing up for Social Vibe and picking Invisible Children as your cause.
