Rwanda 2014: 24 years after the Ugandan invasion
Twenty-four years after the Ugandan invasion of Rwanda in October 1990, both the history of the four-year war that followed and realities of life on the ground in Rwanda today are fiercely disputed. Claude Gatebuke survived the violence and founded the African Great Lakes Action Network (AGLAN) to promote truth and reconciliation in Rwanda and the rest of the Great Lakes Region of Africa.
Exchanging her wheelbarrow for a wheelchair, Eunice Atim in Uganda finds education still out...
On Sept. 26, 2013, an article with the title “Disabled and riding a wheelbarrow: a father’s love” explained how Eunice Atim and Sarah Atiano of Uganda, Africa, lacked wheelchairs that could enable them to get around and go back to school.

Peacekeepers depend on the Pentagon, in South Sudan, CAR, DRC, Uganda, Rwanda
The Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan all share borders. Each of these three countries is now engulfed in tribal or religious sectarian violence, and Uganda, a longtime U.S. military partner, has troops in both the Central African Republic and South Sudan.

Letter to my Rwandan, Ugandan and Congolese brothers and sisters celebrating M23’s defeat
Rwanda’s M23 has finally been defeated in DR Congo, but what are we to make of DR Congo negotiating with M23, not Rwanda’s Kagame and Uganda’s Museveni?

M23 tragedy manufactured by Rwanda and Uganda
Joseph Kabila was in Kampala Nov. 20 meeting with Rwanda’s Gen. Paul Kagame and Uganda’s Gen. Yoweri Museveni as the Congo city of Goma fell.

Uganda: Acholi people face second genocide with U.S. troops in country

Uganda: Hang the gays or hang the demonstrators?

First they came for …: Uganda and U.S. culture wars

Museveni’s casino: Anne Mugisha on Uganda’s 2011 election

Outsourcing a U.S. war: Ugandans in Iraq
Last week the Pentagon proclaimed that the last U.S. combat forces had left Iraq.
