Dean Corll "CANDYMAN" Dean Corll was a 33-year-old electrician living in Houston, Texas, who with two teen accomplices was responsible for kidnapping, torturing, raping and murdering at least 27 young boys in Houston in the early 1970s. The Houston Mass Murders, as the case was later called, became one of the most horrific series of murders in U.S. history. Corll would conduct his killings either in his boat shed or in rural areas around the city. An interesting fact the only true way the murders came to light was because one of Corll's accomplices turned on Corll and killed him. Corll was born on 24 December 1939 in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

This was asked due to an inability to provide food and relief to the Somali people. The day after this proposal, the United Nations accepted the offer and President Bush ordered 25,000 troops to go to Somalia (Snyder 3). On December 9th, the first United States Marines landed on the beaches of Somalia (Snyder 3). By May 9th 1993, the United States had officially turned over control to the United Nations (Snyder 3). In June of 1993, only 1,200 United States soldiers
The military managed to take back most of the capital city, and over time some militias gave into the peacekeepers mainly due to the threat to their leaders. Soon after, the US returned home in 1995. With the departure of the US, militias and gangs caused civil war for many years after. In 2006, a terrorist organization known as ‘Al-Shabab’ (literally translated to ‘The Youth’) began overthrowing Somalia’s capital city; Mogadishu. Claiming to have an alliance with Al-Queda, the hostile group reportedly recruited children as young as 8, promising those delicacies such as cell phones, large quantities of money, houses, etc.
Child Soldiers in Uganda The Lord’s Resistance Army, a rebel war group in Uganda, is a major part of the ongoing twenty-year war and is responsible for abducting and brainwashing children to become sufficient killing machines. These actions have left people disheveled and worrisome for their children. Parents with children in Uganda live in government camps ridden with disease, poverty and starvation to avoid attacks from the Lords Resistance Army and hope that their children won’t be abducted. Parents with abducted children hope for their children to return, but these children now have a new family. If abducted children are able to manage a successful escape, they tend to have a hard time living as a part of the community again.
Black Arabs were being discriminated against because they were black and they were being told that they weren't in the right religion. The government began sending out armies of men who were called the Janjaweed. These Janjaweed killed anyone who got in the way and they began to get out of control by raping women, killing children and families for no reason at all. Over 5,000 villages were
Overview From 1991–2002, the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) waged an insurrection that ravaged the tiny West African nation of Sierra Leone. The conflict created over 2 million refugees and completely destroyed much of the country's infrastructure. Initially, the RUF appeared to be fighting for the country's rural poor, but it quickly lost sight of its founding goals and began a brutal war of terror against ordinary Sierra Leoneans. Villages were burned, women raped, and children gunned down. Many of those who were captured had their hands and feet hacked off by machetes (there were an estimated 100,000 victims of mutilation), and others were forced to work as slaves in the country's diamond mines.
According to Times Online, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for one Sudanese minister and a leader of the Janjaweed; the warrant was a result of 200,000 dead civilians. Along with the killing of the Darfuris, the Janjaweed have ruthlessly torn through the Darfuri society. The Janjaweed have increasingly destroyed Darfuri homes and villages, forcing many refugees to evacuate. According to the Advancing Science Serving Society, the Janjaweed have destroyed twelve vulnerable villages -- some with more than 1,000 homes -- since the year of 2005. In recent United Nations visits to Darfur, the UN recalls nearly forty-percent of about
