As I prepare for my upcoming CPT delegation to Uganda, I thought I'd take an opportunity to share some of the news I've been reading on the current situation as it relates to the peace process. Here are links to two BBC articles on talks happening this week.

For background information on the 20 year civil war in northern Uganda, use the links on the sidebar of this page.

Also, below is a map of Uganda to give you an idea of where I'll be spending my time. We'll be spending our first week in the capital of Kampala before heading north to Gulu.
