Night Commuters: Uganda’s Forgotten Children of War

The United Nations has called northern Uganda “the world’s worst forgotten crisis.” Every night as many as 40,000 children flee their villages to sleep in the relative safety of urban centers. Known as “night commuters” they do so to escape abduction, forced conscription, and sexual slavery at the hands o the Lord’s Resistance Army, the brutal rebel force which has waged war against the government for almost two decades.

Go

In 2007, Invisible Children posed a challenge to youth around the world: raise one million dollars in 100 days to rebuild schools in war torn northern Uganda.

Thousands of students rallied, and 20 were rewarded with an adventure of a lifetime: a trip into Africa’s longest running war. This is the story of a generation discovering that it doesn’t matter where you are from, but where you go.
