Liberia has continued to struggle with its internal battles stemming from corrupt and unjust governments and leaders. As stated in our readings, ( CW/Lesson 13 West Africa), large scale fighting has erupted as recent as the year 2000 over the fight for leadersip in this country. Groups such as LURD rebels have takn over many areas north and west of Liberia, MODEL rebels have cut off income from the south and east which is rich in timber, and the presidents own armed forces have treid to gain and keep control around the capital, Monrovia. The two rebel groups, LURD, and MODEL, now have two-thirds of the country under their control and own the majority of military power as well. This violence has also taken advantage of human rights by enlisting boys as young as ten years old to fight for these rebel groups.

It is an area that we haven’t traditionally taken part in. Not only is the geo-political canvas constantly changing, the language barrier will prove to be a difficult one to overcome. Along the western coast of Africa the lines that define countries are fluid at best. Land is claimed by the warlord or tribe that can hold it and factions within the countries are fighting daily for control. Rebellion is a daily occurrence and with it brings a multitude of ethnic complexities. With the proliferation of technology we may very well see the region turned into a religious or extremist playground with the heads of those organizations hundreds of miles away controlling the fighting on the ground like a puppeteer with puppets, all in the name of a movement or ideology. As fighting continues crime and war “ become indistinguishable, with “national defense” viewed as a local concept”3. Fighting will become a matter of survival as nations and states lose the ability to protect its citizens and survival becomes

There has been desperate pleas for peace between the Ugandan government and the Lord’s Resistance Army. Every time efforts for peace has been offered Kony shuts the efforts down. While government efforts have weakened the army’s numbers they still have not been stopped. Efforts such as the Ugandan People’s Defence Force has taken various steps to stopping this resistance but has not successfully stopped the group from attacking villages. The army has spread over the years in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sudan, and the Central African Republic. The United Nations has taken steps to protect and aid civilians but unfortunately in the DRC, the UN does not have the resources to protect civilians. Another problem is communication, an attack might happen but won’t get word until weeks after the event. The International Criminal Court has issued warrants for Joseph Kony but the warrants have failed to arrest him and his

Both sides are using militias and arms from the earlier civil wars with Sudan to arm and fight. The tactics are also similar using mass killings and rape of ethnic based villages as shock factors to send messages to opposing sides. The Rebel forces are also reported to be using child soldiers to help

The Lord's Resistance Army, or LRA, is a brutal rebellious group led by Joseph Kony. The fight between the Ugandan government and the LRA is one of the longest running battles in African history dating back to 1986. To many experts, the LRA is one of the most brutal forces in the world. The LRA is notorious for committing human rights violations including murder, mutilation, rape, widespread abductions of children and adults, sexual slavery, and looting of villages. Throughout its years of existence, the LRA has grown to be a feared group by many people and surrounding countries in Africa. The LRA emerged in northern Uganda in 1987, the year after Yoweri Museveni, a rebel leader from southern Uganda, seized power, ending nearly a decade of

The target of this paper is to conduct an exploration comparing and contrasting the family/medical leave policies within the United States (U.S.) and Vietnam. Currently, our nation is experiencing longer work days than the majority of European countries (though less than Asian countries) (Top Universities). Additionally, the fundamental need of our nation’s workforce as it relates to work/life balance is a significant issue affecting all Americans considering the shift in the gender composition of the labor force late in the twentieth century. Consequently, the challenge of providing fair and equitable support of women as well as single parents in the workforce is steadily becoming a paramount concern for the masses. Moreover, the established

The conflict in Darfur flared in 2003 when rebels in Darfur took up arms, accusing the government of neglecting the region. The government responded with a counter-insurgency campaign. More than 2.3 million people have been displaced, most of them living in dirty camps in Darfur and in neighbouring Chad. Peacekeepers and aid workers have restricted access to those in need. Civilians have come under attack from government troops, pro-government militia and rebel groups. Arab militias are also fighting each other, and there are frequent clashes between tribes. The Sudanese government was and is widely accused of arming militias drawn from Arab tribes who have used “scorched-earth” tactics against the rebels' communities. The government in Khartoum

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

Sadly, war is a large part of life in the Congo. Blighted by political violence for decades, combatants continue to up the ante on aggression levels at an exponential rate since the inception of the Congo War in 1997. The Congo War is extraordinarily complex, with a conglomerate of loosely associated rebels fighting each other, and often swapping sides.

Uganda is a country located in Africa that is surrounded by Kenya and the Republic of Congo. Uganda’s capital is Kampala and some other major cities would be Gulu, Lira, Mbarara, Jinja, Bwizibwera, Mbale, Mukono, Kasese and Masaka. The coordinates are 1 00 N, 32 00 E and the total area of Uganda is two hundred forty one thirty eight thousand. The land is one hundred ninety seven hundred thousand square kilometers and the water being forty three nine hundred thirty eight thousand square kilometers. When you are comparatively speaking about Uganda it is just slightly smaller than the state of Oregon.

If you were to look on the map of Africa and try to find Uganda, you might have trouble finding it because it 's smaller in size when compared to surrounding countries. Uganda is like a little giant when matched to some of the other countries surrounding it. Although, the country is small its population is what makes it big. It was predicted that Uganda’s population would reach 47 million by the year 2025 which says a lot for a country its size. Now, if you ever visit a city in Uganda, like the Kampala which is the capitol, you would see that the streets are congested with people and since the cities are so congested scores of people are relocating to other countries where the streets are less congested and jobs are available. The reason people are flocking to the cities is because it increases their chances of getting a job so they can support their

From the time Idi Amin came to power in Uganda until the time his regime fell, his brutal rule negatively impacted Uganda in every aspect of its existence. In 1971, Idi Amin along with military support, ousted Prime Minister Milton Obote while he was out of the country in Singapore attending a Commonwealth summit meeting with many other leaders of African and European countries. Over the course of his violent reign, Idi Amin killed between 100,000 and 300,000 of his own people and doomed the economy with the expulsion of those of Asian nationality. Many of his victims were killed for no reason, or for a very insignificant action. Amin was in power from 1971 to 1979 and proved early into his dictatorship that he was very powerful. Only one

Uganda is a presidential republic which means that whoever is president of Uganda is head of state and head of government. The head of government (President) is HE Mr Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. He controls what happens and what rules are enforced. He does not control the people’s every move but he does monitor just like any government would. There is a constitution as well that provides for a unitary republic and the President appoints a cabinet as
