Uganda and Museveni's Leadership

20 September 2006
opinion

The president of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni, says the promise of peace will allow all Ugandans to benefit from the social, economic and political progress his government has fostered over the past two decades. He accuses critics like Olara Otunnu, former United Nations Under Secretary-General and Special Representative for Children and Violence, of backing failed genocidal regimes. Otunnu says it is Museveni's policies in northern Uganda that have perpetrated genocide and that claims of economic development and social progress are unfounded.

What do you think? Have you experienced the situation in northern Uganda? What is the way forward?

Le mois dernier, le gouvernement ougandais et l'Armée de Résistance du Seigneur (LRA) ont signé un accord de paix mettant fin à plus de deux décennies d'un conflict meutrier. Le Président Yoweri Museveni estime qu'il a réalisé la paix et la prospérité dans son pays. Il attaque également les critiques de son régime comme Olara Otunnu. L'ancien Secrétaire général adjoint des Nations Unies, de nationalité ougandaise, accuse le régime de Musevini d'avoir commis un génocide dans son combat contre la LRA.

Quelle est votre opinion sur la situation qui prévaut dans le pays ? Avez-vous été témoin des évènements qui se sont déroulés au Nord de l'Ouganda. Quelles solutions proposez-vous pour aller de l'avant ?
