Uganda: terror
As the light in the sky in northern Uganda gradually darkened, the children came out of the mud shed at home and began to walk along the dirt road to the nearest Gulu town. The child with wide eyes holds the hand of the older child. Skinny boys and girls on the verge of adolescence, carefully staring at the shadows on the roadside. Some people walked seven miles. It is true that they moved because they lived in a place where children were most afraid. In this world, armed men really steal children in secret, and their daily safety trip has become a routine. People gave them a name: "Dead of night".
Michael, a thin 10-year-old child, wrapped in a patched blanket, talked about the boys and girls kidnapped by armed men in the village and never saw them again. "I can't sleep at home because I'm afraid they will catch me," he said.
Last June, 165438+ 10, when I traveled to northern Uganda, about 2 1000 people who were speechless trudged into Gulu at night, and another 20,000 rescuers said that they poured into the town of Kitgum about 60 miles away. Children usually lie on the woven mats they bring and cram themselves into tents, schools, hospitals and other public buildings as temporary shelters, which are funded by foreign countries and charities and guarded by Ugandan army soldiers.
Children fled the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a murderous cult that fought Uganda and terrorized civilians for nearly 20 years. According to United Nations officials, under the leadership of Joseph Kony, the Lord's Resistance Army captured and enslaved more than 20,000 children, most of whom were under the age of 65,438+03. Kony and his infantry killed many girls. Kony said that he tried to build a "pure" tribal country and cruelly forced boys to become guerrilla soldiers. Aid workers have documented cases in which the Lord's Resistance Army forced abducted children to hack to death or beat their parents. LRA also killed or tortured children who tried to escape.
Rebels of the Lord's Resistance Army wandered in rural detachments in northern Uganda, unexpectedly appeared in Huoju village, killed and kidnapped children, and then returned to the forest. The terrorist tactics of the Lord's Resistance Army and the bloody conflict between the rebels and the army led to 6.5438+0.6 million people (about 90% of the population in northern Uganda) fleeing their homes and becoming bee refugees in their own country. These "internally displaced" Ugandans were ordered to be placed in dirty camps, where malnutrition, disease, crime and violence were frequent. Doctors With Borders, an international medical aid organization, said recently that there were too many deaths in the camp in northern Uganda, and the problem was "beyond the scope of emergency".
This tragic word has surfaced from time to time in western news media and international institutions. United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan called for an end to violence in northern Uganda, and the United Nations also coordinated food donation and relief work in Uganda. A booklet of the United Nations Food Program in 2004 said: "The atrocities of the Lord's Resistance Army are unparalleled anywhere in the world." . However, the crisis in Uganda was largely concealed by genocide in neighboring Sudan. Since the beginning of 2003, the militia supported by * * * attacked blacks in Darfur, killing nearly 70,000 people. In the past year, the United States provided Uganda with more than10.40 billion US dollars. Most of it is used for economic development, but it includes $55 million for food,160,000 for other forms of assistance, such as AIDS education and support for former child soldiers and former abductees. In May 2004, Congress passed the Northern Uganda Crisis Response Act, which President Bush signed in August. It does not provide funds, but urges Uganda to resolve the conflict peacefully, and calls on the State Council to report this issue to the National Assembly this month in memory of A Qiu Rees, who was less than 50 miles from Kampala before being defeated by the regular army. A year later, it was reported that Joseph Kony's cousin had formed an army called "Lord's Resistance Army" and vowed to overthrow Museveni. Since then, thousands of people have lost their lives in the conflict, and no exact casualty figures have been reported, which has caused the poor country to lose at least $654.38+03 billion.
It takes four hours, including the rolling white waves of the Nile from Kampala to Gulu. Near the city, villages began to disappear and were replaced by huge and boring camps. Gulu is a garrison town where the Fourth Division of the Ugandan Army is located. Soldiers strolled along the rugged sidewalk with assault rifles, or drove by in vans. The shabby shops made of concrete are arranged along the main road. The day before I arrived, LRA fighters cut off the lips, ears and fingers of a camp resident two miles from the city center. His obvious crime was wearing rubber boots that soldiers liked, which aroused the suspicion of LRA. He may be such a person himself. Rob Hanawalt, head of UNICEF operations in Uganda, said that the LRA then attacked 65,438+05 miles away.
Kampala road
Several children were kidnapped in refugee camps along the way. Over the years, about 65,438+05,000 children abducted by the Lord's Resistance Army have successfully escaped or been rescued by Ugandan troops. Many people who were kidnapped before were taken to Gulu, where aid organizations assessed them and prepared them to go home.
Children in the War Rehabilitation Center run by World Vision, an international Christian charity, hide behind high shutter doors with broken glass on them. Inside, single-story buildings and tents occupy this small place. At the time of my visit, there were 458 children waiting for resettlement. Some people play football, some jump rope and some perform traditional dances. I saw about 20 legless children hobbling along with crutches. People can distinguish newcomers by their dark silence, bow their heads, furtive eyes and bony bodies deformed by ulcers. A few days ago, when Ugandan army helicopter gunships attacked rebels who were holding them, some people were captured or rescued. Jacqueline Akongo, a consultant of the center, said that the child with the deepest scars was the child who Kony ordered the execution of other children. But in fact, all the children were traumatized. "Other people who don't commit suicide see someone killed, which makes them very sad," Akengo told me.
One night in a shelter for the silent at night in Gulu, I met 14-year-old George, who said that he had been with the rebels for three years. He said that one night, when the rebels were about to break through the camp, a pair of five-year-old boys complained that they were too tired to walk. George said, "Mandel found another little boy to kill them with a machete." . George went on to say that on another occasion, he was forced to collect the blood of a murdered child and heat it in a pan on the fire. He was told to drink or be killed. "It can strengthen the heart," George recalled what Mander had said to him. "If you see someone die, you won't be afraid of blood."
In Gulu, I met other people who had been kidnapped before, and they told the same terrible story. Although their experiences seem incredible, social workers and others who work in northern Uganda insist that the worst part of the children's reports is in fact true. Nelson, a young man of 18 years old, stared at the ground and described that he helped kill another boy with wood because the boy tried to escape. Robert (14) from Kitgum said that he and other children were forced to cut the body of a child they killed into small pieces. He said: "We did as required. Margaret Ente, a 20-year-old mother I met in the rehabilitation center, said in Gulu that she was kidnapped by the Lord's Resistance Army when she was 12 years old and repeatedly * * *. She said Kony has 52 wives, and 25 kidnapped girls will become his slaves once they reach puberty. Margaret is a tall woman with a soft voice and great vision. She was holding her 4-year-old son that day. She said that she was the eighth wife of a senior LRA official who was killed in a battle last year. Beatrice, 16 years old, held her 1 year old baby and recalled her forced "marriage" with an LRA officer. "I don't want to," she told me, "but he pointed a gun at my head. "
People described Kony's behavior as arrogance. Archbishop John Baptist Odama, a Roman Catholic priest in Gulu and head of the peace initiative of religious leaders in Acholi, a Christian and * * * organization, said: "Kony made the children kill each other, which made them feel so ashamed and guilty that they thought they would never return to their homes and be trapped by the Lord's Resistance Army." Trying to mediate an end to hostilities.
Kenneth Banya is the highest-ranking member of the Lord's Resistance Army held in * * *, and the third rebel group is in Mande. He was captured in a fierce battle near Gulu in July this year. His wife and a 4-year-old son were killed by a helicopter fire, but most of his 135 soldiers escaped. Today, Benya and other officers captured by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) are being held in the military camp of Gulu. The army used him for propaganda and made him speak on Gulu Radio, urging his former LRA colleagues to surrender.
Bania is over 50 years old. When I met him in the military camp, he said that he had received civilian helicopter training in Dallas, Texas and military training in Moscow. He claimed that he was kidnapped by LRA fighters in 1987. He said that his advice to Kony not to kidnap children was ignored. He denied ordering the killing of children or girls. Banya said that when he arrived at the first camp of the Lord's Resistance Army, water was spilled on his trunk, and the rebels marked him with a white clay cross mixed with nut oil. He recalled his teaching and said, "This will eliminate your sin. You are a new person now, and the Holy Spirit will take care of you. " When I conveyed Benya's last words to Captain Paddy Ankunda, spokesman of the * * * Northern Army Command, he smiled and said:
. He said that Bania went to Kony of her own will. A leaflet released when Benya was arrested called him the "heart and soul" of the Lord's Resistance Army. Without the support of radical Sudan, the terrorist forces led by doomsday Christian Kony.
It is impossible to thrive. During the eight years from 65438 to 0994, Sudan has been providing shelter for the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) in retaliation for Museveni's support for the Sudanese Christian rebel group "Sudanese people", which is fighting for independence in southern Sudan. Khartoum gave Kony and his Lord's Resistance Army weapons, food and a shelter near Juba, a city in southern Sudan. There, far from the Ugandan army, Kony's rebels launched an attack in Uganda, where they gave birth, brainwashed, trained new abductees, planted crops and regrouped. Benya told me: "At that time, we had 7,000 soldiers there. In March 2002, Sudan signed a military agreement with Uganda under the pressure of the United States, allowing Ugandan troops to fight against the Lord's Resistance Army in southern Sudan. Ugandan troops quickly destroyed the main LRA camp in Sudan. Kony then stepped up attacks and kidnappings in northern Uganda; According to World Vision, from June 2002 to February 2003, the Lord's Resistance Army captured more than 65.438 billion children in Uganda.
At that time, Museveni ordered Acholi people to enter a relatively safe camp. Ken Charlie Davies, director of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) office in Uganda, said: "In April 2002, 465,000 people were displaced in refugee camps because of the Lord's Resistance Army." By the end of 2003, there were 654.38 million+600,000 people in the refugee camps. "According to the last statistics, there are 135 refugee camps. In the thirty years that I have covered wars, famines and refugees, I have never said, * * * and the murder of civilians. Ochola advocated pardoning members of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), although he said that LRA mines killed his wife and LRA rebels killed his daughter, who later committed suicide.
Many rescuers advocate a peaceful solution. Last autumn, Egeland of the United Nations wrote: "There is no military solution to the violence and rebellion in the north. Critics say that one disadvantage of military means is the high casualty rate of LRA prisoners. Rescuers accused the army of using helicopter gunships to attack the Lord's Resistance Army because women and children were killed along with rebel soldiers. The Ugandan army defended this practice. " Major Shaban banta Riza, a military spokesman, told me: "The Lord's Resistance Army trains their women and children to use rifles and even rocket-propelled grenades, so we shoot before they shoot." Democracy Defends Peace and Democracy Defends Peace In June this year, Museveni announced that * * * and the Lord's Resistance Army would establish a limited ceasefire zone in northern Uganda. 65438+In late February, Ruhakana Rugunda, Minister of the Interior, and Betty Bigombe, former Minister of * * * *, led a group including Odama and representatives of the United Nations to meet with the leaders of the Lord's Resistance Army near the Sudanese border to discuss the signing of a peace agreement before the end of the year. However, the talks broke down at the last minute, reportedly because the LRA's request for an extension of time was rejected. President Museveni said at a peace concert in Gulu on New Year's Day that the ceasefire agreement had expired and vowed that the army would "hunt down the leaders of the Lord's Resistance Army, especially Joseph Kony. "We have made slow progress in ending this protracted war," he added. However, since August 2003, 4,000 children have been rescued.
Ten young mothers and their children are preparing to go home at a reception center run by a Catholic relief organization in Pade town, northern Uganda. They flew there from Gulu by charter flight of UNICEF. Among the young women is Beatrice. As soon as she entered the building, a teenage girl rushed at her. "You are still alive! Beatrice said to me, "that girl screamed and was as excited as Beatrice." "We are the best friends in the jungle." . "She thought I was killed by a gunboat."
This kind of party is usually pleasant, but children who have been kidnapped before face a grim future. "They need counseling for many years," Congo said, adding that they have little or no opportunity to get any counseling.
One day, in Gulu's Children's Rehabilitation Center, I saw Iacobo Ogwan throw his hands into the air when he ran to his 13-year-old daughter, Steller. I met her for the first time since the IRA kidnapped her two years ago. "I thought she was dead," he said trembling. "I haven't slept since we learned that she came back." The girl's mother, Jerodina, pulled Steller's head to her chest and sobbed. Steller stared at the ground silently.
