The plight of children abducted by rebels in northern Uganda is not getting enough international attention, the UN has warned. According to the Office of the Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict (OSRSG-CACC), more prominence should be given to the tragedy which has been unfolding for nearly two decades. Over 25,000 children are believed to have been abducted in the course of the 17-year civil war between the rebel Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) and the government.
