Uganda Enlists Former Rebels to End a War Summary

In Uganda, there is a man of the name of Joseph Kony, who has created an army of children the will capture other children in the nighttime. These children are then taught to handle a gun and cut off someones lips and ears. In the article, Patrick Opiyo Makasi, a former abducted child when he was 12, is now 20 years old and is now searching for Kony. Kony has been on the run for over 2 decades, but is still lurking around to abduct more children to gain a stronger army.
Many think that it is crazy to have former rebels (children who were abducted) to fight to find Kony, but in reality these kids are very powerful and know how to handle a gun. That's more than most of the men in the country do. The hatred that the kids may feel toward Kony probably inspires them to keep hunting for him. For example these kids have had to sleep in the middle of a town or underground because they do not feel safe at home. During the day the kids do not fear, for they know that no one is after them, but when nighttime comes around, the kids do fear of being taken away or killed. All in all these kids have had to grow up with the training of someone in the military has, and they should fight to ensure that other kids will no longer fear as they had by finding and killing Kony. This will keep Uganda safer and will allow the kids to not fear.
