Research Question
If the LRA can't be stopped with violence and an army, how can they be stopped?
How does Joseph Kony force children to join his army?
What is being done to help these children?
Why is the world just now starting to help, after two decades?*
How are the children's rights being violated?
Why does Kony use children to do his dirty work?
How has religion contributed to the acts of the LRA? How do they use religion to justify their actions?
How has this issue been addressed? Has focus made any impact? Have there been any repercussions? When was the peak of global focus, and why was that? Ugandan history (why Uganda)? Why children? Family roles? Security? Released children (effects)?
How have abducted children been affected after they were released?
How has this issue been addressed in a global view, and what repercussions have come because of it?
Research Question:
How has global involvement influenced the conflict with the Lord's Resistance Army in Northern Uganda?
I will need to look up articles, books, and more that illustrate a global reaction to this incident, specifically whether it was a large focus and what repercussions, if any, that focus has caused. I will need to learn about various organizations that are responding, as well as what governments have done. I will need to find out when the peak of interest in Northern Uganda occurred, and why that is.

Tentative Research Proposal
1. I am interested in researching the Lord's Resistance Army and the child soldiers in Uganda. I'm interested in this situation because I heard about the organization Invisible Children, which works to stop these abductions, from a friend and I want to know more. I want to know the background information of what is happening and what is being done/has been done to stop it. I want to focus especially on children because I'm shocked at the extent that their rights are being violated.

http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/uganda_25184.html
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/para/lra.htm
3. I'm not sure what exact aspect of this conflict I'm going to research, but I know I'm going to research something related to the child soldiers. What would be some good books to use (especially some that contain primary sources)? What other organizations, besides UNICEF and Invisible Children, are working to resolve this conflict?
