  • Uganda 2015 Human Rights Report
    UGANDA 2015 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Uganda is a constitutional republic led since 1986 by President Yoweri Museveni of the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party. Voters re-elected Museveni to a fourth five-year term and returned an NRM majority to the unicameral Parliament in 2011. While the election marked an improvement over previous elections, it was marred by irregularities. Civilian authorities generally maintained effective control over the security forces. The three most serious human rights problems in the country included: lack of respect for the integrity of the person (unlawful killings, torture, and other abuse of suspects and detainees); restrictions on civil liberties (freedoms of assembly, expression, the media, and association); and violence and discrimination against marginalized groups, such as women (sexual and gender-based violence), children (sexual abuse and ritual killing), persons with disabilities, and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) community. Other human rights problems included harsh prison conditions, arbitrary and politically motivated arrest and detention, lengthy pretrial detention, restrictions on the right to a fair trial, official corruption, societal or mob violence, trafficking in persons, and child labor. Although the government occasionally took steps to punish officials who committed abuses, whether in the security services or elsewhere, impunity was a problem. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life There were several reports the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings. On September 8, media reported security forces in Apaa Parish in the north shot and killed five persons during a land dispute over the government’s border demarcation.

  • Uganda Humanitarian Update
    UGANDA HUMANITARIAN UPDATE MAY – JUNE 2010 I. HIGHLIGHTS AMID HEAVY RAINS, HUMANITARIAN ACCESS IN PARTS OF KARAMOJA AND TESO HAMPERED BY DETERIORATING ROAD CONDITIONS OVER 1,000 CHOLERA CASES REGISTERED IN KARAMOJA SINCE APRIL 2010 90% OF IDPS IN NORTHERN UGANDA NO LONGER LIVING IN CAMPS, BUT LAND CONFLICTS AND LANDMINES IMPEDING RETURN IN SOME AREAS II. SECURITY AND ACCESS SECURITY The general situation in Karamoja remained fragile, according to the United Nations Department for Safety and Security (UNDSS). Cattle raids, including on protected kraals, particularly affected Moroto and Kotido, with some resulting in fierce clashes between the Uganda People’s Defence Forces and the raiders. In South Karamoja incidents associated with food distributions involved theft of food and non-food items (NFIs), and attacks on food distributors as well as on food recipients. Following three road ambushes in Alerek sub-county of Abim District during the month, UNDSS issued an advisory limiting UN movement along the Abim-Kotido road to between 09.00Hrs and 16.00Hrs with effect from 28 June 2010. Three civilians were killed in one of those ambushes. In northern Uganda, Amuru District officials and partners carried out a joint assessment in the wake of a violent land dispute that occurred in Koli village of Pabbo sub-county on 23 June. Preliminary findings indicated that one person was killed and several others injured in the dispute involving two clans. Some 40 huts were torched and many members of either clan had fled the village. Also of concern in the region during the reporting period were raids by illegally armed Karamojong, particularly in Pader District.

  • What's New in 2003?
    Public Health Service Centers for Disease Control DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES and Prevention (CDC) Memorandum Date: February 21, 2003 From: WHO Collaborating Center for Research, Training and Eradication of Dracunculiasis Subject: GUINEA WORM WRAP-UP #130 To: Addressees What’s New in 2003? UGANDA INTERRUPTS GW TRANSMISSION IN RECORD TIME? Uganda's Guinea Worm Eradication Program reported only 7 indigenous cases in 7 endemic villages, and 18 cases imported from Sudan during 2002. Eighteen (76%) of the 24 cases were reportedly contained - all in case containment centers. Thus, the indigenous case reported in Lorukumo village of Moroto District in December 2002 might be the final instance of indigenously transmitted dracunculiasis in Uganda. That patient, a 48-year-old woman, was confined in a local hospital from the swelling stage until the worm was completely removed. If no indigenous cases are reported in 2003, Uganda will become the first endemic country to interrupt transmission since Chad reported its last case in 1998. This is a remarkably rapid achievement for the Ugandan program, which recorded 126,639 cases in 2,677 endemic villages of 16 districts during its national case search in 1991-1992 (figure 1). Most cases (94.9%) were located in only three contiguous districts (Kitgum, Kotido, Moroto) in the northeast of the country (figure 2). Before the national village-by-village search, which was one of the last to be conducted among the endemic countries, Uganda had reported only 1,960 and 1,309 cases for the entire country in 1988 and 1989, Figure 1 respectively. When Uganda reported 42,852 cases of NUMBER OF CASES OF DRACUNCULIASIS REPORTED SINCE 1992 IN UGANDA dracunculiasis in 1993, it ranked as the second- AND YEAR OF INTRDUCTION OF INTERVENTIONS AND STRATEGIES highest endemic country, exceeded only by Nigeria (75,752 cases), and followed by Niger 10000000 (21,564) and Ghana (17,918).
