I'm not a supporter of religion, and I don't really believe in god, but there are times I believe in evil. The war in Uganda, which involved the kidnapping of tens of thousands of children as sex slaves and warriors, could be defined as such. If you can get over some of the religious aspects of the book (many of the main people involved are religiously affiliated or believers), you will cheer for the successes and cry for the failures and injustice of the whole thing. It was a shamefully under reported war and we are all guilty of the sin of indifference. Like "Long way gone", helps disspell the impression that Africans understand that their children are expendable. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
In October 1996, thirty Ugandan schoolgirls were abducted by the Lord's Resistance Army and disappeared into the bush of Northern Uganda. The girls were raped and tortured before being forced to become child soldiers and sex slaves. This was only one out of thousands of child kidnappings by merciless madman and rebel leader Joseph Kony. But for the battered civilians terrorized by rebel warfare and neglected by corrupt government, this was the breaking point. Something had to be done--the world needed to know and their girls needed to be brought home. Kathy Cook's one-on-one interviews with the surviving girls and their mothers make their fear, frustration, and suffering overwhelmingly real. With exceptional insight gained from on-location research, Cook gives us an authoritative account of how concerned parents, interfaith groups, politicians from Canada and the United States, and NGOs banded together in a struggle to rescue the girls and to mobilize a people, their country, and a global community. An emotionally charged retelling of a heartbreaking true story, Stolen Angels reminds us of the importance of faith, strength, and determination in the face of adversity.
