Nearly every country in East Africa has experienced internal strife in the last few years without resolve. Sudan, Chad, Somalia, Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda have experienced these horrors. Today marks a very important peace agreement in Uganda between the LRA (Lord’s Resistance Army) and the national government. Read about the recent agreement HERE.

While you’re at it, check out the film Invisible Children. Shot by post college students when they could not get into Sudan because of the safety hazards that had gotten very out of control at the time, they went to Uganda and brought back a film highlighting the fighting that has left so many boys homeless, many of them forced into the rebel armies.
