Concretely...

I just finished to read an article about a civil war in Uganda, in a french newspaper.
The journalist explains how children have to leave their houses each and every night to reach camps and hospitals to sleep there, in a so-called safe place.

Indeed, soldiers kidnap children and teens to force them to join their army and fight against the forces of the State.

Of course, it's much easier to brainwash a young kid and make him believe in a cause that means nothing but his own death.
Some of them have no choice but to kill their own family so that they don't have anything left that could make them escape from the army or leave the fight.



This is not new. Unfortunately. It's been a long time since children have been used as weapons, cleared out of any humanity.

But there was one thing that stroke me in this article : a teenager interviewed by the journalist told him, after responding all his questions : "Concretely, what does it change if you talk about us in your country?"

It was not a question. She knew that none article in any occidental newspaper would change something.
It's terrible to point out such a weakeness of the press, but she was fucking right.

People always say they didn't know what was happening.
In reality, favored people just don't do anything because it wouldn't change anything. For them at least.
