Listen to an interview with the Bishop of Kitgum.

Twenty years of war. Over 28,000 children abducted. 1.6 million people herded into camps — and now starving. A population living in fear.

“A conspiracy of silence by the international community”
(Bishop Ochola Baker).

CMS is standing in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in northern Uganda, the ordinary people who are victims of terror and war.

A rebel group called the Lord’s Resistance Army are kidnapping, raping and torturing their fellow Acholi people — and the situation’s still getting worse.
