Child abductions in the Central African Republic
The Central African Republic has seen a big spike in the number of child abductions...and it's being blamed on the Ugandan rebel group, the Lord's Resistance Army. The latest numbers come courtesy of LRA Crisis Tracker which monitors the group's activities. It's a website set up by a couple of NGOs, one of them called Invisible Children. Its Director of International Programmes, Sean Poole, outlined the scale of the problem:
