The notorious "Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) rebels" have devastated much of northern Uganda. Thousands of villagers have fled their homes for fear of being killed or abducted.

"The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the state."
- Dr. Joseph M. Goebbels - Hitler's propaganda minister
