May 4, 2011 Uganda: Protests in Perspective
In February this year Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni told a
press conference: "There will be no Egyptian-like revolution
here. ... We would just lock them up. In the most humane
manner possible, bang them into jails land that would be the
end of the story." Events of recent weeks, including last
week's violent attack by security forces on opposition leader
Kizza Besigye and a sit-down strike by Ugandan lawyers
beginning today, seem to indicate that repression may not be
the "end of the story," despite Museveni's overwhelming
victory with 68% of the votes in February's election.
Jun 24, 2009 USA/Uganda: Recovery from Conflict?
"We applaud the commitment of the bill [in the U.S. Congress] to
bring about stability and development in the region. However, we as
the Acholi religious leaders whose primary concern is the
preservation of human life, advocate for dialogue and other
non-violent strategies to be employed so that long term sustainable
peace may be realized. Let us learn from the past experiences where
we have seen that violence only breeds more violence." - Acholi

Jan 28, 2009 Congo (Kinshasa): Risky Steps towards Peace
The UN Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC) has
announced that it is providing logistical support for the joint
Congolese-Rwandan military operation in eastern Congo, to maximize
protection of civilians and reintegration of rebel forces into the
Congolese national army. MONUC was not informed of the operation in
advance, and there are real fears for the consequences for
civilians. Nevertheless, most observers see the move, reflecting
new agreement between Rwandan and Congolese governments, as a
prerequisite for more fundamental peace-making measures.
