 The Agoro region has endured years of civil and tribal violence from the time of Ugandan Independence, which has devastated the community and upset its way of life.Thousands have been killed or forced into fighting for rebel factions, the most active in recent years being the Lords Resistance Army, which is estimated to have abducted over 25,000 boys and girls.Many of the remainder have been affected as a result of harsh government treatment of the Acholi in reaction to the LRA.
