Rehabilitating Kony's child soldiers in Uganda
Listen now
Description
In 2002, a Catholic nun arrived in Gulu, a town in northern Uganda, to help set up a sewing school for locals.
For years, the town had been the target of brutal attacks by the Lord's Resistance Army, led by the warlord Joseph Kony.
The rebel group was known for kidnapping children and forcing them into becoming soldiers.
As the LRA was being chased out of Uganda, those who were captured arrived at the school seeking refuge.
Sister Rosemary Nyirumbe shares the shocking stories of those who escaped captivity with George Crafer.
