(WASHINGTON D.C.) - Imagine the entire state population of Arizona murdered in an 11-year period by neighboring rebel groups, all six million people. The women of Phoenix, Flagstaff, Camp Verde and other cities brutally raped while their children and husbands are forced to watch.
After this horrific act of war, the husbands are shot, dismembered and the women left bleeding and ruined in their communities. For the men who do survive, they are unable to look at their wives for the shame they suffered by not being able to protect them from the atrocities that occurred.
Imagine the children who were forced to watch their mothers being violently raped and their fathers murdered only to meet the same fate at their tender ages. For those children who were not killed knew they would be taken as child soldiers and “bush wives” to the rebels.
