Uganda: Fear and apathy feed war
09.06.2005
Eight people are shot, hacked and beaten to death and their bloodied corpses dragged to the middle of a dirt road for aid workers to find. Six other fatally wounded victims are left lying nearby, screaming in agony. They die hours later. After nearly two decades of bloodshed, Ugandans are asking why atrocities such as this May 27 attack by Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) rebels still plague the traumatised people of the north - and why they seem to have been forgotten by the world.
