The Cost of the LRA on Civilians
Posted by John Norris on Feb 04, 2009
In case you missed it, a press release from our friends over at the Genocide Intervention Network. They note that since September 2008, the Lord’s Resistance Army, or LRA, has killed more than 1,000 people in eastern Congo and 120 in south Sudan. Almost all of these deaths have resulted from deliberate LRA attacks on civilians. Since December alone, 130,000 people have been displaced around the district of Dungu in Congo. The LRA is truly a living horror.
Today, MSF issued a related statement; the press release itself is at http://www.msf.org/msfinternational/invoke.cfm?objectid=4030A9A9-15C5-F0..., and the associated Google News story cluster is at http://news.google.com/news?sourceid=navclient&hl=en&ned=us&ncl=13008617....
