The unseen war

Currently in Africa there is a War raging that has gone pretty much unnoticed in the United States. In 1978 Idi Amin the current president of Uganda planned to invade Tanzania. But with an over powering counterstrike Tanzania along with ULNA forces was able to overrun Uganda. Tanzania forces stayed in Uganda to maintain peace.
For almost 30 years Rebel forces have been uprising in Uganda taking boys as young as 9 to bare arms and fight a war that their grandfathers started. Girls at the age of 13 are taken to be rebel sex slaves. I just can’t believe this. How can something like this just be going on? I’m not saying that the U.S. should intervene but at least educate our people so we can decide.
