May 9/08 - GuluWalk joins international push to support the current peace process in northern Ugandan

As Ugandan civil society leaders meet to clarify transitional justice mechanisms in advance of their scheduled May 10th meeting with Lord’s Resistance Army leader Joseph Kony, NGOs from around the world have united in a message of support for local efforts to salvage the peace process to end northern Uganda’s 22-year war. They are calling for patient and persistent engagement to ensure that humanitarian progress achieved during the Juba negotiations is sustained. “Over one million displaced northern Ugandans continue to face the difficult task of trying to create a life in the absence of peace and in fear of a return to violence,” says the statement released today by more than thirty humanitarian, faith-based and civil society organizations from Brussels, Geneva, Gulu, Kampala, London, New York, Oslo, Pader, Toronto and Washington DC. “Recent developments have made it clear that all efforts must now be aimed at salvaging the Final Peace Agreement.” Click here to read the complete statement.....
