September 17, 2018 Uganda: Time for the Youth
"The struggle we are facing is not limited to Uganda alone, but it's a struggle
against oppression across Africa and indeed across the world. So, just like we got
support from across Africa and across the world, we call upon Africans, especially
young Africans to know that there will never be another time for them to assert their
rights other than now." - Bobi Wine
May 5, 2016 Uganda: Accountability and Child Soldiers
"After two decades spent fighting in the bush, Dominic Ongwen, a
senior commander in the notorious Lord's Resistance Army (LRA),
faces trial at the International Criminal Court (ICC) on seventy
counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity. ... the first time
that a former child soldier will be prosecuted at the ICC and the
first time that an accused faces charges for the same crimes
perpetrated against him. As such, the Ongwen trial raises myriad
questions and poses difficult dilemmas regarding the prosecution of
child soldiers." - Justice in Conflict symposium
Mar 14, 2012 Africa: KONY 2012, Military Realities
"Chasing the leaders, which seems to be the strategy
preferred by both the Ugandan People's Defence Force and the
US military, is a hit or miss approach that will call down
more attacks on unprotected civilians as the LRA
instrumentalise them to send their twisted message and
replace battlefield losses by abducting new fighters. While
the Ugandan/US strategy has produced some attrition, it has
also generated a bloody response and a massive recruitment
campaign that seems to have gone unnoticed." - Philip
Lancaster, co-author of Diagnostic Study of the Lord's
Resistance Army, and former military assistant to Gen. Romeo
Dallaire in Rwanda
