Unicef: More than 500 LRA Child Abductees Cry for Home
On Sunday at the Sudan-Congo border, the LRA paraded a group of more than 100 children to Unicef officials. "I am from Gulu [northern Uganda] and have been here for two years. I want to go back home," one 18-year-old girl said, as tears rolled down her scarred face. Among the children were 18 boys aged from eight years, 20 mothers carrying babies aged from two months to two-and-a-half years and more than 60 girls aged 12 and over. "More than 500 boys and girls from various places in northern Uganda and southern Sudan are still in our camps," said Capt. Sunday Ochaya, who is also the coordinator between the LRA and the southern Sudan government. "They will be brought later, [because] they will have to walk for four hours."
