  • Negotiating with the LRA in Northern Uganda1
    Getting to Peace? Negotiating with the LRA in Northern Uganda1 by Joanna R. Quinn2 Working paper. Please do not cite without permission. Getting to peace is not a straightforward process. In Uganda, internal conflict has raged for more than 20 years between the Government and the Lord’s Resistance Army. The construction of a comprehensive negotiated settlement is at the mercy of conflicting ideologies and influences at the international, national and grassroots levels. This paper examines the Juba peace talks, the major actors in the negotiation process, and tension between prosecution and amnesty. Background and History of Current Conflict Uganda’s modern history has been filled with conflict and violence, since it declared Independence from the British in 1962. The first term of the country’s first Prime Minister, Milton Obote, was characterized by significant numbers of riots and armed attacks.3 Much of this violence was in protest of his consolidation of power throughout the country. In 1971, Obote was overthrown by his army commander, General Idi Amin Dada. Amin seized power, then began a reign of terror, systematically murdering and torturing those he considered to stand in his way.4 He targeted those who were seen to have supported Obote, 1 A paper prepared for presentation at the conference, “Cross-Purposes? International Law and Political Settlements,” held by the Nationalism and Ethnic Conflict Research Group, The University of Western Ontario, London, ON: 9 June, 2007. 2 Joanna R.

  • Social Media and Politics in Uganda
    COUNTRY REPORT Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung e.V. UGANDA IVAN RUGAMBWA Tagging, Tweeting, Posting: MAIKE MESSERSCHMIDT Social Media and Politics in September 2015 Uganda www.kas.de/uganda/en THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL MEDIA ON THE RUN-UP TO THE 2016 ELECTIONS IN UGANDA While in Uganda still only a relatively small percentage of the population has access to social media, its importance in political communication and activism cannot be overestimated. Due to the power that manifests itself in hashtags, posts, and images, the Ugandan political elites on the one hand learned to use social media for their political goals and campaigning. On the other hand, however, there are also calls for regulation as social media can be just as uncomfortable as it can be useful. This country report takes stock and analyses the impact social media has on the electoral process. Like in many other countries, traditional media channels from print to radio, to TV and now online media outlets have for many years had unfettered dominance in influencing mass opinions and perceptions in Uganda. They were the make or break, the one stop centers for information and shaping public discourse. Not any longer. The arrival and spread of new media technologies (also known as social media) like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, among others, are fast altering this dominance over breaking news and discussing it. In June 2014 8,5 million people had internet access, equaling, however, only 24,4 percent of the population. As of June 2012, 562.000 Ugandans had Facebook accounts1. It is estimated that this number has grown threefold today, reaching around 1,5 million people out of the overall population of 34,8 million people2.
