LRA

Uganda cease-fire

Personal

Visiting a country undergoing civil war would've made me "hardcore", but I don't think I truly regret that Uganda and the Lord's Resistance Army signed a cease-fire. I suppose this means less to worry about for my friends and family.. and for the people in Uganda, of course.

Peace in Uganda?

Personal

There is hope for peace in Uganda yet:

The deputy leader of Uganda's rebel Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), Vincent Otti, has attended peace talks in a clearing on the DR Congo-Sudan border.

Glad to hear it. It's always good to hear when a country is on its way to make an end to bloodshed. Especially when I'm due to be there for work in a number of weeks. (Don't worry, the fighting doesn't take place in capital Kampala.)
