The primary research questions include an examination of whether or not South Sudan’s 2011 secession signaled a break from the O.A.U.’s traditional doctrines of African stability and noninterference. Additionally, this thesis asks: why did the United States and the international community at large confer recognition to South Sudan immediately upon its independence? Theoretical models are used to examine the independent variables of African stability, ethnic secessionism, and geopolitics on the dependent variables of international recognition and the Comprehensive Peace Agreement.

  • National Tuberculosis Andf Leprosy Program
    NATIONAL TUBERCULOSIS AND LEPROSY PROGRAM ACTIVITY REPORT TOUR OF THE DISTRICTS IN THE EASTERN ZONE OF UGANDA 12th to 23rd DECEMBER 2005 Compiled by: Dr. Abel Nkolo Dr. Kalyesubula-Kibuuka Simon, 3rd January 2006 1 Executive Summary Uganda has a population of 27.6 million [1], which is distributed into 69 districts (since July 2005). Efforts to control Tuberculosis started way back in 1965 when a National Tuberculosis Control Program was established. A combined program for TB and Leprosy was conceived in 1988 and the National TB and Leprosy Program started in 1990. Regardless of these efforts, the disease continues to be a threat fuelled by the HIV/AIDS scourge yet TB and HIV collaborative interventions are still in their infancy. Leprosy control has been domain of church based organizations for a long time, who took it as a humanitarian Christian mission [2]. In Uganda significant support has been received from the International Federation of Anti-Leprosy association (ILEP) partners, notably the German (GLRA) and Netherlands (NSL) Leprosy Relief Associations [3]. The NTLP is headed by a Program Manager assisted by nine Senior Medical Officers who are termed as Zonal TB Leprosy Supervisors (ZTLS). Uganda is the 16th of the 22 high-burden countries of tuberculosis (TB) The TB burden in Uganda continues to increase, NTLP notification increased in 2003 3.4% and 6.0% in 2004 when 44,605 cases were detected. In 2004, 46 of the 56 districts continued to detect and report new leprosy case ranging from 1 in Iganga, Hoima, Kabarole, Kyenjonjo and Rukungiri to 82 in Lira district [4].
