Confronting Evil: The Lord's Resistance Army

Sunday, January 9, 2011 - 10:10am to 11:20am EST (GMT -0500)

Uganda's Lord's Resistance Army rebels have waged a quarter-century campaign of terror across central Africa, kidnapping over 60,000 children and driving over 2 million people from their homes. Now America is pledging to eradicate them once and for all. Can it do the job?

Human Rights Watch and the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting have sent researchers and journalists to remote parts of central Africa, interviewing hundreds of victims and witnesses to LRA atrocities. Documentary photographer Marcus Bleasdale and HRW's Ida Sawyer discuss what they have found, and why Americans should care. Hosted by National Cathedral Dean Sam Lloyd.

Location: The nave in the National Cathedral, Washington DC
