News Stories From Uganda

Well, I had high hopes for posting a real update, pictures and all, but the internet hasn't cooperated with uploading, and I got discouraged.  However, while I was annoyed that the pictures wouldn't upload, I decided to read one of the newspapers, and came across this promising story, so I thought I'd share...hopefully it will not be overshadowed by societal beliefs, and the excuses of culture and tradition, & will be able to improve access and availability of GBV services to Ugandans.


While I think Museveni's signing of the DV bill is great, I then proceeded to read this story about Uganda's new national identification cards.  Don't get me wrong, I fully support a country providing it's residents with proper identification, but seems to be a bit rushed and has potential for chaos, corruption, and confusion, especially given the upcoming elections next year.  Oh, and I don't exactly love the inclusion of invisible information that includes up to four wives, either.  But hey, that's just me.
