1. I was interested on how countries in Africa are sending letters of concern for their own countries on human rights problems to the Unites States government.  This shows that other countries around the world look up to the Unites States because of the success of our human rights.  In the link below there is a letter from Chad to Barrack Obama pleading about the waivers for Children Soldiers prevention act.  Many countries in Africa like Chad are in desperate need to rebuild their human rights programs to not have child soldiers in battle.  
The LRA is taking over Africa and the victims of the LRA are speaking out to President Obama and other world leaders to help stop the War against the LRA.

3.Questions: Why are countries in Africa relying on the Unites States to help them maintain human rights in their countries?
