Refugees in Africa: Another Quiet Emergency

The day-to-day struggle for dignity and survival that goes on in refugee camps remains invisible to most of the world. In this ABC News program, actor Don Cheadle travels to Uganda to focus media attention on the plight of innocent people—especially children—displaced and endangered by war. Cheadle visits a rehabilitation center for boys and girls kidnapped by the Lord’s Resistance Army, the militia that has battled the Ugandan government for 20 years, and sheds light on the rebels’ practice of enslavement and forced prostitution. A camp for “night commuters,” or young people who sleep away from their homes to avoid capture, further emphasizes Africa’s crisis. (22 minutes)
