Between Two Fires is set in the context of two decades of armed conflice between the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) and the Ugandan government in Northern Uganda, which has displaced nearly 2 million civilians from their homes to so called "protected camps." These internally displaced people (IDPs) face heightened insecurity, appalling living conditions, and lack the very basic means of subsistence. \n\n While the LRA has commiteed war crimes against the displaced population, including the abduction of some 20,000 children; the Ugandan Army (UPDF) which was mobilized to protect civilians has also committed human rights violations including arbitrary detention, torture and rape. \n\n Through the personal stories of IDP torture survivors, Between Two Fires advocates for official acknowledgement of abuses committeed by the UPDF, redress for torture survivors, and the strengthening of national legislation against torture.
