Pearl in Africa: Uganda: April 2007
http://goingtouganda.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Pearl in Africa: Uganda. Saturday, April 28, 2007. I am now sifting through notes and photos of my trip to Uganda. Somewhat delayed because I got pulled into working full-time as a consultant at (ahem, yes) the UN. More thoughts on that later. I find the topic of northern Uganda come up with varied frequency in my conversations at work - mainly because I work for a division of the UN Development Programme. Which brings me to the title of this blog. Posted by uptown girl. Thursday, April 26, 2007. Human R...

Pearl in Africa: Uganda: October 2006
http://goingtouganda.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Pearl in Africa: Uganda. Sunday, October 22, 2006. The UN and NGOs in Refugee Camps. My observations confirmed. Sadly. Below is an article by a law student at NYU published in the Washington Post last year:. The following OpEd, by NYU JD student Peter Dennis, was published in the Washington Post on April 12, 2005. The UN., Preying on the Weak. Tuesday, April 12, 2005; Washington Post, Page A21. This experience was sadly typical for the refugees with whom I worked. Although charged with the care of de...

Pearl in Africa: Uganda: June 2006
http://goingtouganda.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Pearl in Africa: Uganda. Friday, June 30, 2006. Kony in Person, for the First Time. Joseph Kony has recently given his first interview with a western journalist. Transcripts and comments given by the notorious LRA leader can be found on BBC's website here. How, how, how? Do people deny their involvement in killings and mass torture? But maybe this is a window into human nature - a lesson here for each one of us. Why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, and not at the log in your own? Well, rea...

Gun Tamga: Flying Is Hungry Work
http://gumtanga.blogspot.com/2006/04/flying-is-hungry-work.html
A watering hole in mongolia. Where the last przewalski's. Horses were seen in the wild. Wednesday, April 19, 2006. Flying Is Hungry Work. Sheltered from the cold. By sunwarmed manmade rocks. On the shores of Hawkshaw Lagoon. And become a pelican. The wind tugs at my muscles. Great Wall of China. Long Bridge into Ceske Budejovice. Losing interest in the works of men. I fasten my hopes for lunch. Onto the black dots below the surface. Of a bright green sea. Keifus the techno* * *. In an african minute.

Gun Tamga: Sunday is as good a day as any
http://gumtanga.blogspot.com/2006/09/sunday-is-as-good-day-as-any.html
A watering hole in mongolia. Where the last przewalski's. Horses were seen in the wild. Sunday, September 17, 2006. Sunday is as good a day as any. On the bank there. And brush the snow. That holds all of space. And past the stars. Lay your hand softly. Feel the shiver and gambol. Of the stream running. Feel the ice sag. The cold slices hot. To join the stream. We went through. Now and then we scrambled away in time. A happier memory, perhaps, but I recognized that transitional moment. I've lived practic...

Pearl in Africa: Uganda. Monday, January 15, 2007. Rebels Snub Ugandan Peace Talks. See below for a recent article by BBC. Uganda's rebel Lord's Resistance Army says they will not participate in peace talks with the government that are to resume next week in southern Sudan. Delegation leader Martin Ojul said public pronouncements by President Omar al-Bashir and his deputy Salva Kiir show they are not welcome in Sudan. He said Kenya should host any further talks as it would be neutral ground. The BBC's Sa...
