br. Il 9 ottobre del 1996 centotrentanove ragazze, fra i 12 e i 15 anni, furono rapite dal Collegio St. Mary's di Aboke gestito dalle Suore Comboniane. Suor Rachele Fassera, la vice preside italiana, inseguì i rapitori. Riuscì a entrare in contatto con il Lord's Resistance Army, uno dei più crudeli gruppi di guerriglieri del mondo guidato da Joseph Kony, un fanatico religioso. La suora ottenne il rilascio della maggior parte delle ragazze, ma dovette lasciarne trenta al loro destino. Che cosa è accaduto a quelle ragazze? E che cosa è accaduto alle migliaia di fanciulli portati via dalle loro case? Perché Joseph Kony sta uccidendo la sua stessa gente in nome della sacra Bibbia? Il volume ricostruisce la storia di due delle ragazze sfuggite al Lra.

ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “estratto” or “stralcio” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.
