"The conflict in northern Uganda is unique in the sense that children are not just the main victims, but they are the main targets," says Mads Oyen of the United Nation Children's Fund. Children make up 90 percent of the rebels' forces. On average they spend over two years with the LRA, a movement claiming that it wants to establish a government based on the Ten Commandments. The children are forced to fight on the frontlines, but they also serve as porters and sex slaves.
