Uganda


Patrick Opiyo Makasi, is a man, that at 12 years old, he was forced to enter to a Army, he was in the Army for 20 years, in the army he was trained to kill, burn, pillage and slaughter. His name Makasi, means "siccers" (in other language), he got this name becasue he sheared off ears and lips from people. Makasi had a hard time in the Army, because he was forced to kill people, and do wrong.

Now, Makasi has a new mission, his new mission is to huntdown his boss. But the Ugandan government is against this, because this conflict had taken thousands of lives on the north of Uganda.

The American government is helping Uganda with millions of dollars of millitary support, namely, trucks, and airplanes.

Reflection:

Patrick Opiyo Makasi had a hard life in his youth, he was humiliated, and forced to kill people, all of this make Makasi feel hate for life, that's why he killed people, but now he has a feeling of anger against he man who forced him to do those acts of violence.

Many teens think that they have a hard life, because their parents want to make them do their chores, they think they have a bad life, because their parent did not let them use the car, I think some teenagers don't know what is to have a hard life. When teenagers know what is to have a hard life, being humilited, work for something and what is to sacrifice things they like to get something else, when teens know all of this they could comprehend Makasi.
