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

May 10, 2009 USA/Africa: Underfunding Global Health
President Obama's global health budget plan, pegged at $63 billion
over six years and announced on May 5, one day in advance of the
full budget statement, met with predictably mixed responses. The
administration spin was that it was a major new commitment to a
comprehensive approach; health activist groups charged that it
actually marked a cut from prior commitments made in campaign
promises and by Congressional pledges.
Apr 14, 2009 USA/Nigeria: Halliburton Fallout
Fallout is continuing from the long-drawn-out case of Halliburton
and Kellogg Brown & Root bribery of Nigerian officials for
contracts for a liquefied natural gas plant in Nigeria. In February
the two companies agreed to a settlement with the U.S. Department
of Justice and Security Exchange Commission, including payment of
a total of $579 million in fines. Further investigations are under
way in five countries; and a detailed expose in Nigeria's Next
newspaper has accused three former heads of state of being involved
with the payments.
