Comment from the contributor:
They kill with machetes. They mutilate any who get in their way. They have terrorized Uganda for twenty years, abducting and brainwashing children and turning them into killers themselves. This is the LRA. But some have managed to escape, and are even trying to return to their communities. How can a country heal after the deep wounds inflicted over two decades? Now, many victims of the LRA are facing their abusers, and in spite of all, choosing to forgive. The New York Times covers how these communities are coming together to forgive, but not forget.
