The U.N. and associated governing bodies knowingly veiled the rest of the world from the truth of Rwanda, portraying its citizens as savages and attributing the bloodshed to ancient hatred, when in fact they purposely stood by and did nothing to stop these vicious crimes against humanity. In my effort to stop genocide, I would become involved in spreading awareness, specifically through the lens of social media and television. With its widespread influence and long-reaching arm, I could open the eyes of the so many, showing them the grave injustices that struck Rwanda, through actual footage and eye-witness testimonies of survivors from both sides of the blood-stained conflict.

The effects of this violation of human rights not only affects the children who are abducted, but also following generations. Children of ex-soldiers are not accepted in society, which continues the vicious cycle in Uganda and neighboring regions. While looking at the expulsion in which former child soldiers face from their societies, there are many psychological factors that take place and cause great pain to these members of society. In Uganda, the two most prominent tribes are the Baganda tribe of the south in which focused their work in agriculture, and the Acholi people of the north in which focused their work in hunting and livestock.
