Informative Speech About Uganda

She intertwines her experiences in the industry of aid and development to a shocking revelation that a general being of the society wouldn’t be aware of. The author persists that in order to progress with sustainable development goals we first need to be aware of our own involvement. We are all consumers of war, and therefore we are connected to war. She determines that aid should not be militarized rather should remain neutral for its sanctity to provide only civilian relief. When it is militarized, it is politicized and loses its legitimacy. The author perpetuates her three main sustainable development goals; first to eliminate gender divide by investing in women and girls. Second, she eradicates the need for decent work and economic growth for youths in order to prevent them from becoming militants and rather serving their nation as educated leaders. The final sustainable development goal that the author persists is peace, justice and strong institutions. Post war nations have now become lawless and crimes are being committed without perpetrators being held accountable. She suggests that there needs to be a greater investment of legal mechanisms within those nations. Nutt believes in long-term sustainable goals however these can be criticized to be only in the hands of great nation leaders. Though now we are greatly aware, we cannot resolve issues that are highly political. To

This warlord of Uganda is just another Hitler of our world. Kony is a man with a mission to stay in power. He will do all he can to maintain a superior status.Kony has not committed these crimes himself, but has become the rising leader for Lord's Resistance Army

Uganda is a hot year round country with an agricultural production, developing world rather than industrial. Africa’s climate change involves with some of the most frequent and severe challenges such as health resources are under heavy pressure. Three factors that deal with issues related to the food or agriculture in the developing world of Africa are poverty, environment, and health.

The continent of Africa has been exposed to countless of years of tragedy including forced slavery and colonialism. One of the most devastating hits to Africa is the civil war that occurred in Sierra Leone from 1991 to 2002. This country experienced a decade long war in an endeavor to achieve economic stability and a democratic political system for Sierra Leoneans. There are many facets that contributed to the warfare that occurred in the small nation, from the reason why the conflict started, the numerous participants and their affiliations, and cessation as well as the effects thereafter.

The adverse effects of military occupation in Uganda can be traced back to the beginning of colonization. European countries like Britain, Belgium, and France all rushed into Africa at the end of the 19th Century trying to get their slice of Africa. Some nations were worse than others, but the two common themes that tied African imperialism together were racism and exploitation. For decades, the Ugandan people were under rulers that exploited them and treated them as if they could not be trusted in society. The torn society of Uganda has been affected by years, even decades, of war and militarized occupation. They face a corrupt government, broken economy, and execrable poverty. Military occupation of land is a powerful tool

About 800,000 people were killed in 100 days in 1994(100 days of death). This slaughter started when the president(hutu) was shot down in a plane.(100 days of death)”It has never been conclusively determined who the culprits were."(Hutus & Tutsis) when this happened the Huts blamed the Tutsi and the Tutsi were getting punished and killed for this reason. The word “genocide” is when a specific amount of people are being targeted to kill. This word best describes what happened to all those people in Rwanda. What happened in Rwanda is something that everyone should know about because nothing like all the crimes done in Rwanda should ever happen again.

The Lord’s Resistance Army is one of the longest running and most violent armed groups in Africa. The US State Department reports that it has been active since 1986, it was formed in northern Uganda to fight Uganda’s government. It has a sordid and violent history including the forcible recruitment of over 66,000 children for both sex slaves and child soldiers. The longevity and continued activity of the Lord’s Resistance Army can be attributed to its leader, Joseph Kony.

The group’s effects on the region are prevalent and easily noticeable, but it is important to consider the causes in order to really understand the issue. Uganda’s unstable, harsh rulers, such as Idi Amin and Milton Obote, have caused many ethnic groups, like the Acholi, serious pain and oppression. Once this hatred toward the government is paired with radical Christian ideas, the LRA is going to cause a lot of damage through heinous actions that effect a swarm of people. The Lord’s Resistance Army’s power was infinite because did not face a lot of opposition within Uganda, and with outside sources, such as Sudan supporting it, it was able to be self-sufficient. Today, Uganda continues to face the harsh rebels, but since a viral internet campaign called “Kony 2012”, the awareness for the issue amongst the rest of the world increased dramatically. Even though the campaign itself ended up being a flop, it raised concern and the Ugandan government made a huge push to combat the issue. Although Kony has not been caught, it is estimated that he now only has several hundred fighters, all of whom live in the bush and do not attack villages as often. There is still a lot of progress to be made, especially with helping the families recover from their losses, but there has been a large wave of aid organizations who have been working towards mending the wound in Northern Uganda. In the history of the conflict, the world

Three successive weak governments followed (Milton Obote and Yoweri Museveni),”(Cultural Survival). As this article explains, the government had started out weak after Uganda gained independence in 1962 and continued to fail all the way up to today because people were constantly in rebellion. (2 explicative sentences on why the government was weak, in your own words not relationg to Konys involvement. Aka why was the government weak when it started out. Was it always weak? Was it weak when the country was formed?) Because the government was so scrambled, there was nothing to stop Kony from staging a coup de ta and gaining control around(???? What?? Specific date please) 1986. (please insert a sentence that links these two, currently they are unrelated except for Kony) By 2006 UN representative found more than 5000 children in the Ugandan army. In order to combat Kony and his army Uganda needed help from outside countries like the US, however Obama’s 2014 “Hunt for Kony” was a failure according to an article written by Angelo Izama, a native of

In the African countries of Uganda and South Sudan, thousands of men, women and children are being brutally murdered and mutilated in their own villages. Children are being kidnapped by the thousands. Women are being brutally raped. Shockingly, the assailants in these heinous crimes are children, armed under the leadership of a military madman named Joseph Kony. Calling themselves the Lord’s Resistance Army, they are considered one of the most vicious terrorist groups in the world.

The country of Uganda is a very dangerous place where many civilians are killed daily and children are abducted and taken as child soldiers. There are many groups that rebel against the Ugandan government one that is very well known is The Lord’s Resistance Army. The Lord’s Resistance group of rebels in Uganda that claimed that the holy spirit has ordered them to overthrow the ugandan government. The most recent known leader of this group goes by the name of Joseph Kony. Kony has kidnapped over 30,000 children to strengthen his army, forcing the boys to become soldiers and the girls to become sex slaves. This group capture those who can be useful to them, including children strong enough to carry weapons. The captives are tied together and marched to camps where they are violently indoctrinated and turned into soldiers, cooks, or sex slaves. Captives are often forced to

The Lord’s Resistance Army, or the LRA, is Africa’s most violent armed group and also the oldest. Joseph Kony formed the LRA in 1986 in northern Uganda, to fight against the Ugandan Government. At the height of the conflict, about two million people were displaced in northern Uganda. Since the LRA never gained public support, they turned to forcible recruitment to build up their army (“The Lord’s Resistance Army”). Kony, and the LRA believe that Uganda should be governed and run based on the 10 Commandments. They rely on the application of terror in order to keep their campaign alive. The war in Uganda being

Idi Amin rose to power in 1971 through a violent military coup. Amin and his army successfully overthrew Uganda’s former president Milton Obote with the foreign aid from both the British and Israeli Government. From the British Amin received aid through large amounts of money being sent to his personal bank account and from the Israelis he received arms. Amin’s success at gaining and holding power was largely based on foreign assistance. “Amin's regime survived as long as it did in part because it always found one or another imperialist power to patronise it” (Fall of Idi Amin 1). Alone, Amin would never of had enough resources or internal support to retain power because of both external and internal resistance. This resistance came from the

Policymic wrote an article where they bring light to the situation by saying “Uganda Veterans Development Limited (UVDL) was involved in this scandal and procured employment where women were raped, beaten, and tortured by their employers.” (Chan). The service companies like the UVDL are continuing to abuse their employees because Museveni has given them no fear of repercussion from the Ugandan government. If human rights into Uganda is going to improve, purging these companies from Uganda is going to need to be the first step. Uganda has also illegally entered the Congo on the hunt for natural resources. Uganda invaded into the Congo and was responsible for killing hundreds of people and the extraction of wealth and resources from the Congo, and therefore, the Congolese people. Numerous human rights groups have noted that Ugandan forces “have blatantly exploited Congolese wealth for their own benefit and that of their superiors at home."(Nampewo). The conflict in Uganda has begun to spread to neighboring countries, such as the Congo creating more conflict just to be able to economically support itself. The more Museveni causes Uganda to suffer, the more he tries to take from. In the near future, Uganda will be extremely unstable financially and politically. Several countries, such as Denmark, Norway, and the Netherlands, have been imposing trade embargos with Uganda because of its corruption, and other

What we see in the case of civil war is that greed and capital are the roots of all evil and human life is seen as a last concern of the ones who crave for profit. Governments don’t always use their power and trust of their people for prosperity of the country but for their accumulative wealth. The government is willing to obtain the capital by any means necessary; even if that means that their own people die at the expense of natural resources that only obtain value by the assumption of the ones that wants it. In Sierra Leone this was the case that highlights these truths. Momoh gained the trust of the people of Sierra Leone and then sought the diamond mines as a profit for himself and his colleagues instead of for his people. Sierra
