Alice Auma stood as a woman for a brief moment in the streets of Gulu, Uganda, staring at the cart which stood in front of her home. Her hands trembled at the site of nearly a dozen young boys piled lifelessly, limbs and heads hanging limp from the wooden framing. The donkeys stood silently as they waited for their master, as though they knew the sad account of their cargo.
