81. FWDP -- Geostrategies In The Great Lakes Conflict And Spatial Designs For Peace Discusses proposed solutions to the regional conflict affecting areas of Eastern Za¯re, Rwanda, Burundi, uganda, and Tanzania. http://www.cwis.org/hutu3_1.html

Geostrategies in the Great Lakes Conflict and Spatial Designs for Peace Dr. Richard A. Griggs, Independent Projects Trust, Durban (Dr. Griggs is Research Director for Independent Projects Trusta non-governmental organization in Durban, South Africa. Griggs is also coordinator for the Center for World Indigenous Studies Fourth World Atlas Project.) 1. The Structural Conditions of Conflict Structure refers to relatively immobile social, physical, or economic factors that either constrain or facilitate conflict and help shape the geostrategic responses and discursive practices of key actors. Three such factors in the present situation are: (1) irrational political boundaries; (2) land shortages and environmental stress; and (3) ethnically differentiated access to power and wealth. 1.1 Political Boundaries 1.2 Land Shortages Burundi and Rwanda could easily have the highest percentage of disturbed, overpopulated land in Africa. Discounting uninhabitable areas [e.g., 10% of Rwanda's 26,340 square kilometers is National Park], the population density within Rwanda and Burundi exceeds 400 persons per square kilometer. Land scarcity, soil exhaustion, and a limited food supply were problems already noted in pre-colonial times. Colonial policy then intensified this environmental and demographic stress by encouraging large scale coffee and tea plantations. Through various policies of taxation, the German and Belgian administrators destroyed subsistence farming and communal ownership to force most of the rural population into coffee production. Consequent land shortages decreased per capita food production.

Home Blogs Theology Africa ... Resume Uganda Introduction Figure 1. Internationally Recognized Administrative Divisions, 1990 Figure 2. Locally Recognized Administrative Divisions, 1990 IN MID-1992 UGANDA WAS still trying to recover from two decades of instability and civil war. For the majority of the population born after Idi Amin Dada seized power in 1971, a peaceful and prosperous Uganda was difficult to imagine. But many Ugandans saw promising signs of economic and political reform in the nation's fledgling grass-roots democracy, new economic development projects and export initiatives, and the renewed commitment to education and social services. Serious problems remained unresolved, however, and it was clear that efforts to rehabilitate Uganda's devastated economy and return the country to civilian rule would take most of the decade. Representatives of Islam and Christianity, who had also competed for social, spiritual, and economic advantage over one another, also left a lasting imprint on Ugandan society. Political developments throughout the twentieth century have reflected the divisions between Uganda's centralized and noncentralized societies, and among the diverse ethnic groups in each of these categories, their different responses to the colonial experience, and the impact of world religions. Uganda had been brought into the world economic system gradually over the centuries, first through trade in ivory, and later through trade in slaves and agricultural products. In the early twentieth century, colonial officials, with the help of Baganda (people of Buganda; sing., Muganda) agents, established cash crops, especially cotton, and later coffee, to help finance economic development according to world market demands. Buganda prospered and drew farm workers from other areas of the protectorate. Buganda's schools also developed ahead of those in other regions, helping fuel existing rivalries between the Baganda and their neighbors.

A short History of Uganda Home News Archive FAQ ... Sign GuestBook Send email Join the Debate Contents Introduction Traditional Governments Quasi Federal Government Central Governments ... Summary Introduction Uganda, as it is known today, is the creation of the colonialists at around 1894. They lumped different tribes together and by virtue of the day, called the emerging country Uganda. It has known only two forms of governments, namely quasi federal, and central governments. The central governments have been characterized mainly by dictatorships, and as such with corruption, human rights abuse, insecurity, poverty, abuse of office, etc. Federo was officially abandoned by Uganda in 1966, and the move was eloquently hailed by the learned as an escape from an obscurantist backwardness into a brilliant future of Pan Africanism and unity. The beliefs of that time are well documented in the "Uganda Argus" and the "People" of the late 1960s. The country was assured in those days that "correct" political philosophies were the key to everything. We know better now. Uganda has become very complex. That's why, after 35 years, we are revisiting the Federo question, especially because of its administrative, democratic and cultural convenience. Back to Top Traditional Governments Before the formation of Uganda, all major ethnic groups ruled themselves as Kingdoms or Chiefdoms. The famous Kingdoms include Ankole, Alur, Buganda, Bunyoro, Busoga, and Toro. The famous Chiefdoms include Acholi, Japadhola, and Teso. The tribes had nothing to do with each other. They were brought under a superstructure of political administration called the Uganda Protectorate Government. This however did not stop each tribe carrying out their own social development.

Uganda Uganda Historical Setting The baobab tree, ancient symbol of the African plains UGANDA WAS ONE of the lesser-known African countries until the 1970s when Idi Amin Dada rose to the presidency. His bizarre public pronouncementsranging from gratuitous advice for Richard Nixon to his proclaimed intent to raise a monument to Adolf Hitlerfascinated the popular news media. Beneath the facade of buffoonery, however, the darker reality of massacres and disappearances was considered equally newsworthy. Uganda became known as an African horror story, fully identified with its field marshal president. Even a decade after Amin's flight from Uganda in 1979, popular imagination still insisted on linking the country and its exiled former ruler. But Amin's well-publicized excesses at the expense of Uganda and its citizens were not unique, nor were they the earliest assaults on the rule of law. They were foreshadowed by Amin's predecessor, Apolo Milton Obote, who suspended the 1962 constitution and ruled part of Uganda by martial law for five years before a military coup in 1971 brought Amin into power. Amin's bloody regime was followed by an even bloodier one Obote's second term as president during the civil war from 1981 to 1985, when government troops carried out genocidal sweeps of the rural populace in a region that became known as the Luwero Triangle. The dramatic collapse of coherent government under Amin and his plunder of his nation's economy, followed by the even greater failure of the second Obote government in the 1980s, raised the essential question"what went wrong?"

Djibouti A peace agreement signed between the government and the FRUD* opposition on 26 December 1994 had put an end to three years of internal armed conflict. Although not completely calm, the situation was relatively stable in 1995. In June the ICRC visited four security detainees, including two who were seen for the first time, at the central prison. During the year the ICRC's office in Djibouti served as a logistics base for the operation in Somaliland.

Annual Report Annual Report Nairobi, regional delegation (Djibouti, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda) Regional coordination In 1996, the regional delegation in Nairobi continued to act as a coordinating centre for specialized and support services for other ICRC operations in the region, particularly in Burundi, Rwanda, Somalia, the Sudan and Zaire. Throughout the year, specialists based in Nairobi offered other delegations their services in many fields: agricultural, veterinary and nutritional expertise, water supply and sanitation, tracing, logistics and airborne operations, supply and management of emergency stocks, administration of a regional technical workshop, means of transport, administrative support, assistance to staff, dissemination of humanitarian law to the armed forces and other bearers of weapons, relations with the media and promotion of the ICRC's activities in the neighbouring countries. Besides providing services for other delegations and engaging in long-term activities to promote knowledge of humanitarian law and cooperation with the National Societies of the region, the delegation was particularly concerned with the growing tension in northern Uganda and, to a lesser extent, the situation of Rwandan refugees in Tanzania, displaced persons in the Rift Valley in Kenya and detainees in Djibouti. For Uganda, 1996 was a year of contrasts. In May, the presidential elections - the first to be held for 16 years - brought a landslide victory for President Museveni. As in previous years, the country's economy continued to expand, with particularly high GNP growth rates.
