In Wendy Glauser’s Northern Uganda Cautiously Courts Freedom as Peace Talks Progress (http://www.worldpoliticsreview.com/articles/1675/northern-uganda-cautiously-courts-freedom-as-peace-talks-progress), negotiations between the Ugandan government and the LRA are discussed. Time after time, Joseph Kony has been given opportunities to sign peace treaties but he has denied. Now that these negotiations have been going on for quite some time now, more and more people are willing to give in to Kony’s conditions to ensure peace than they were before. Some government leaders are finding the idea of agreeing to Kony’s terms may be the only way to settle this growing problem reasonably. They believe that giving him what he wants is the solution.

    In 1996 the war in Sierra Leone was becoming a horrific catastrophe. Children were recruited to be soldiers, families were murdered, death came easily, and staying alive was a privilege. Torture became the favorite pastime of the Revolutionary United Front rebel movement, which was against the citizens who supported Sierra Leone’s president, Ahmad Tejan Kabbah. I was in the grips of genocide and there was nothing I could do. Operation No Living Thing was put into full effect (Savage 33).

  • The Question of Amnesty: Balancing Truth and Justice

    3102 Words  | 7 Pages

    Treating peace verses justice as polar ends of a spectrum assumes positions in extremes of entirely forgiving and forgetting the past through blanket amnesty laws for the sake of reconciliation or pursuing retributive justice against every perpetrator of human rights violations at the risk of disestablishing delicate political transitions. This paper will argue that amnesties are proactive incentives toward peace, justice and truth, not simply exclusive toward one over another. Despite the potentially damaging consequences of amnesty laws for victims and the frequent condemnation of amnesties as a denial of victims’ rights, there are examples from countries such as Uganda of civil society groups lobbying i...

  • Uganda: A Country in Need of Economic Growth

    1186 Words  | 3 Pages

    For decades, Uganda’s economy has suffered through disappointing economic policies and instabilities. These setbacks have been put forth by a chronically unreliable government, leaving it as one of the world’s poorest countries. Uganda’s weak infrastructure and corrupt government are two of the primary constraints against a continuation of economic growth. Uganda has ongoing military involvement in the War on Congo, wrongly taking money from the already deprived country and into the war. Many villages in Uganda also have to waste their precious money and time in pursuit of hiding places. They are faced with a group known as, The Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). LRA is infamous for their twenty years of massacre and slaughter in Uganda, causing an estimated 1.5 million internally displayed persons. Several people are questioning why the LRA is still terrorizing the country and criticizing the government’s commitment to putting an end this horrific group. The Inspector General of Government (IGG) ...

  • Congo: The Novel and the Movie

    Congo was an astounding bestseller novel. It was a great fictional novel that took place in the depths of the Congo rainforest. The novel was later made into a movie. Both the novel and the movie were good, however, I prefer the novel. It just seemed like a more entertaining piece than the movie. This movie was based much upon the novel, but had many alternatives and a completely different ending than the novel.

    Joseph Kony’s desire and opportunity to do more evil is the reason that the US must intervene. With the help of foreign assistance, the vulnerable children will no longer be threatened by Kony’s army. Joseph Kony and the LRA must be terminated since he is endangering the lives of many children and adults alike; the horrendous actions that Joseph Kony and his cult commit are inhumane. It is vital that the bystander stands up and speaks out in order to terminate the bully.

    It was on the 4th of August 1972 when the president of Uganda Idi Amin ordered the expulsion of his country’s Asian Minority giving them not more than 90 days to get out if his country. The ethnic cleansing of Indians in Uganda was conducted by the government which claimed that the Indians were hovering and hoarding the wealth and goods of Ugandan and for that they were bringing down the Uganda economy. Many of the British Asians were brought to Uganda during the imperial period of the British empire. These people were brought to do clerical work in imperial service or unskilled manual labor such as construction. In the 1890’s, 32,000 laborers from British India were brought to south east Africa under indentured labor contracts to work on

  • Uganda: A Land of Pristine Beauty and Astonishing Ecosystems

    1875 Words  | 4 Pages

    Like a fairy tale at the top of a railroad, Uganda is a land of pristine beauty and astonishing ecosystems. From tall volcanic peeks in the East and Western borders, to the wetlands of the Albert Nile River, and the densely growth of rainforests of the North; Uganda has a rich soil that combined with its geographical location of central Africa has the ability to have coffee that has become both a mainstay of the agricultural economy and a favorite of connoisseurs around the world. The languages of English and Swahili, combined with mixtures of cultural dialects that exist throughout the nation, the religions of traditional African belief structures and Christianity are the main two of the region. I have chosen this country due to its economic solidarity and independence from outside requirements being self-sufficient for goods for one of the longest periods of African history.

  • Summary Of Africa My Africa By David Diop

    605 Words  | 2 Pages

    Africa My Africa by David Diop is an excellent example of a post-colonialism piece of work. After researching the author of the poem, I thoroughly understood and enjoyed the text more than just reading it over, without knowing his personal biographical information. David Diop is an African poet, who was born in France. His parents are of the West African descent (Poets.org). Diop emphasizes the problems of Africa that were brought about by colonialism, and shares a message to Africans to bring about change and freedom through his poem, Africa My Africa. Colonialism is the political, social, economic, and cultural domination of a territory and its people by a foreign power.
