Joy as Ugandan abductees return

Published: October 4, 2004

Dozens of people who had been abducted by a Ugandan rebel group have flown home from Sudan to be reunited with their families.

On arrival in northern Uganda, a girl on crutches was greeted by her sister whom she had not seen for seven years.

The Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) has no clear political objective and is almost entirely made up of abducted children.

Religious leaders and music greeted the returnees when they arrived at Gulu airport on board a large Sudanese jet.

Recent military pressure has enabled hundreds to escape and return home.
