After two years of no reported LRA attacks in South Sudan, the rebel army raided two South Sudanese communities between November 5-7, killing two people and abducting at least 12 more. These are troubling developments in an area long thought to be rid of LRA violence. We are taking immediate action and need to raise up to $30,000 within 3 days in order to fully fund the printing and distribution of “come home” fliers in targeted areas of South Sudan. Encouraging LRA combatants to surrender is the most effective way to restore peace in these communities.
79% of LRA who’ve surrendered in the past year cited “come home” fliers as influential in their escape. Invisible Children’s staff in central Africa is working with partners on the ground to create and print “come home” fliers to be distributed over the region next week.
Think people should hear about this?
