Aboke Girls: Children Abducted in northern Uganda by Els De Temmerman

This book is a shocking true story told by African correspondent and news journalist, Els De Temmerman, of how 139 girls between twelve and fifteen years old were abducted by the LRA in the infamous “Aboke Girl’s School” raid in northern Uganda. She gives insight into the mind of LRA cult leader Joseph Kony who masterminded the abduction of thousands of children, turning them into sex slaves, child soldiers ordered to kill and brutalize even their own family members and the displacement of thousands of people into squalid camps with no hope for a future.  You will follow stories of two of the Aboke girls who managed to escape and the bravery of a Catholic nun who risked her own life to save them. “Aboke Girls” abducted from St Mary’s College are featured at the heart of An Unconventional War along with the incredible story of their praying parents.
