Nerdishh reports on a terrible war in Africa.

Uganda, Africa. Something serious is taking place there but not many people know it. Not many people know that there is a war and children are the victims. Little children.

For almost two decades now, a brutal Civil War has threatened the East African country of Uganda. The government has been fighting a rebel group call the Lord's Resistance Army, or LRA.
