LRA stands for the Lord's Resistance army. Kony was fighting, and he found himself running out of men to fight for him. He decided to abduct children so they could make up his army.

6. The problem now... Kony is in hiding and we don't know where he is so some African countries are still under attack. The abducted children are in the front of the LRA when there is violence, so the LRA can't be attacked without harming the children. Children are still being abducted and sometimes are forced to kill their own parents. Many people run from their home towns to try to find safety from the LRA.

The LRA wouldn't have a leader and it would be easier to attack them. Another possible solution would be to build a building where Africans that felt threatened could go for safety. One last solution would be to send basic items to the people in hiding from the LRA so they have some hope and can keep fighting.
