Thelin would conjure vivid images of lush flower gardens, huge fish, and of children running barefoot through her family's coffee plantation. She urged Shannon to visit her family in Dungu to get a taste of real Congo, peaceful Congo, a place so different than the conflict- ravaged lands Shannon knew from her work as an activist. But then the nightly phone calls from Congo began: reports from Francisca's mother of gunmen from Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army, which had infested Dungu and began launching attacks. Night after night, "Mama Koko" delivered the devastating news of Francisca's cousins, nieces, nephews, friends, and neighbors, who had been killed, abducted, and burned alive on Christmas Day. In an unlikely journey, Shannon and Thelin decided to travel from Portland, Oregon, to Dungu to witness firsthand the devastation unfolding at Kony's hands. Masquerading as Francisca's American sister-in-law, Shannon tucked herself into Mama Koko's raw cement living room and listened to the stories of Mama Koko and her husband, Papa Alexander, as well as those from dozens of friends and neighbors who lined up outside the house and waited for hours, eager to offer their testimony. These lively stories transport Shannon from the chaos of the violence around her and bring to life Francisca's stories of the peaceful Congo. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Thelin, Francisca. 600 10 Thelin, Francisca|xFamily. 600 10 Shannon, Lisa,|d1975-|xTravel|zCongo (Democratic Republic) 600 10 Kony, Joseph. 610 20 Lord's Resistance Army. 650 0 Women and war|zCongo (Democratic Republic) 650 0 War victims|zCongo (Democratic Republic) 650 0 Atrocities|zCongo (Democratic Republic) 650 0 Congolese (Democratic Republic)|vBiography. 651 0 Congo (Democratic Republic)|xSocial conditions|y21st century. 700 1 MacDuffie, Carrington,|d1958-|enarrator. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 11285319?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ bsa_9781481503082_180.jpeg
