Pawns of Politics: Children and Conflict in Northern Uganda

Submitted by crinadmin on

Summary: The armed conflict in northern Uganda has
been overlooked and misunderstood for the
past 18 years. It is a tragic struggle for power
involving children, who are used as pawns for
military and political purposes. They are
abused; they are manipulated; and by most
they are pitied and ignored.
