In Africa children are being stolen and forced to participate in wars! Are there any solutions to this problem

YES!!! \nGo to iabolish.com and find out how you can help. Slavery has not ended, and you can become an abolishionist. People turn a blind toward situations in Africa, especially in Sudan. Everyone can help, you just have to be willing.\n\nIt costs $50 to free a slave! \n\nIn Sudan it's cheaper to by a slave than it is to buy a VCR.\n\nBe informed

Africa the Continent is not to blame for the problems you listed.\n\nselfish people have been plundering africa for centuries.\n\nRemoving the victims of this plunder will not bring back the forests and other habitats the animals need.

I think you should donate your money to Africa because they need food, fresh water and clothes to wear. In America kids do have fresh water and clothes to wear also they have programs for the kids but Africa doesn't.

I don't know but aids and malaria are major problems in Africa so I would think there militarys would also have the same problems.\n\nand you do know Africa isn't a country right? your wording almost sounds like you think Africa has just one army.

there are no simple solutions to the problems in africa. some problems with your solution are: how can people transport such large amounts of water? where will it come from? who will pay for it? will the country be expected to pay it back? etc.

You can donate to fundraisers that help the people in Africa, and lobby with your law-makers so that they attempt in Washington to have money and troops sent to Africa in order to help the people. Our government has refused to acknowledge what is going on as a genocide, which is exactly what is going on over there, and it is it one of the saddest most horrible events of out day and age. You're right, something has to be done. If our country acknowledged it as a Genocide then they'd have to do something. But everything one individual does will help, because it's always better to contribute than to ignore something. The problem in Darfur is painstakingly horrible, as women men and children get killed and taken advantage of in unspeakable ways. SO you can write a letter or email to advise your elected representative of your views of the Darfur crisis. If they truly represent the people, then they will listen. The negative opinions expressed by others on this topic in this question...are utterly disgusting an disgraceful. You people should be ashamed of yourselves for thinking things. People always commend the US for going to war in the 1940's and defeiting Germany and saving lives, but now when we have a crisis of our own, people do nothing or claim that it's not our job. THIS is the crisis, NOT the Middle East. Hopefully one day someone will help those people completely. Children do not deserve to suffer like that. Check out the web site in the sources section for more information. And for the people with rude responses, educate yourselves before speaking out.

Dude... you're an insensitive a****le!!! Thank God you're not anyplace close to policy and decision making. There are innocent people out there too, like you and me. They have nothing to do with their sick governments. You have no clue what war is and the suffering that accompanies it. Please refrain from even suggesting mad methods like what you just proposed. \nAnd just to let you know..... that WON'T solve the problem at all!

We study this subject and others to "never forget" the horrible things people can do to each other and to keep them from happening again.  But alas, in my life time the world has allowed these things to go on over and over again!  Africa - Bosnia - the Middle East!  Other countries don't want to get involved until it affects them in the pocket.  Sadly, most wars through the centuries have been politically motivated rather than for the cause of humanity even though that is what is used as the pretext.\nStudy well, and make a difference!

Way to play the undeserving victim.  Maybe if Africa could pull its head out of its ass long enough to form some sort of stable government and quit raping and pillaging their entire populations, then maybe you would actually have a reason to be proud to be an African.

Who is targeting children? and in what war?

I think so.  And it's a shame that more people haven't answered this question.  It's horrible what goes on in those regions, and people don't seem to care because Africans tend to be seen as lesser people.  Hence, the lack of action.

It really depends on who you are looking to help.\n\nThe children need clothing and school supplies.  Many NGO's (non-profits) are set up to keep kids in school and off the streets.  \n\nFamiles need food, clothing, etc, which can be donated again to the NGO's.\n\nCambodia also had very poor medical facilities and practice. Dentists are set up on the street and hospitals are almost non-existant.  The sick and unhealthy really need help with medical supplies, doctor and medical assistance, and many need shots to keep them health for the future.

Now you know why we cannot stop crimes against children in this country.

Why don't you contact the Center for Exploited and Missing Children and have them run a ad on the milk cartons?  That would be the best place to start.
