Show description: “For over twenty years, Northern Uganda was terrorized by the Lord’s Resistance Army – a brutal militia which claimed that it wanted to rule the country according to the Biblical Ten Commandments. Thousands of children were abducted and forced to become child soldiers. Now the LRA has gone from the area, and the former child soldiers have returned – but how can they come to terms with the terrible atrocities they were forced to commit? The BBC’s Paul Bakibinga travels home to find out.”
