Extractions: Uganda achieved independence from the UK in 1962. The dictatorial regime of Idi AMIN (1971-79) was responsible for the deaths of some 300,000 opponents; guerrilla war and human rights abuses under Milton OBOTE (1980-85) claimed another 100,000 lives. During the 1990s the government has promulgated non-party presidential and legislative elections.

Visa and other permits SEARCH Facts In his speech during the official opening of the Sámediggi (Sámi Parliament) in 1997, HM King Harald V emphasized that both the Sámi people and the Norwegians are an integral part of Norwegian society, and apologized for the manner in which the Sámi people had been treated in the past: âThe state of Norway was founded on the territory of two peoples - the Sámi people and the Norwegians. Sámi history is closely intertwined with Norwegian history. Today, we express our regret on behalf of the state for the injustice committed against the Sámi people through its harsh policy of Norwegianization.â At the end of the 1800s, the Norwegian authorities imposed a strict policy of Norwegianization on the Sámi people and national minorities. Towards the late 1930s, a more positive minority policy perspective began to emerge in relation to the Sámi people. In 1956, the Ministry of Church and Education appointed a committee to examine Sámi issues. The committeeâs report, completed in 1959, proposed a new policy that represented a complete shift away from the Norwegianization and assimilation policy. Building on these recommendations, the Ministry submitted a Report to the Storting in 1962-63 that formed the basis for the first comprehensive parliamentary debate regarding the fundamental principles governing Norwegian Sámi policy.

It is a beautiful country with a lot to offer. Probably the most memorable places to visit are the Bwindi National Park, the Ruwenzori mountains and the Ssese Islands. Bwindi National Park covers 330 sq km, located in the south west of the country. It is home to one of the last remaining habitats of the mountain gorilla, and is home to half of the surviving mountain gorillas in the world. Bwindi National Park is also one of the richest areas in Africa for flora and fauna, containing elephants, the rare giant forest hog and at least 10 species of primate. The mist-covered Ruwenzori Mountains stretch for around 100km. They offer some of the most challenging trekking in East Africa and are one of Uganda's most reputable national parks. At its centre are several permanently snow and glacier-covered mountains; the highest is Mt Stanley, in the middle of the park, at 5109m. The Ssese Islands are a group of 84 islands, which lie off the north-western shores of Lake Victoria. Their inhabitants, the Basese, form a distinct tribal group, with their own language, culture and folklore. They live primarily by catching fish and farming coffee, sweet potato, cassava, yams and bananas. You are able to see a variety of animals here including, monkey, hippo, crocodile and many different types of bird. Other than wildlife viewing, the Ssese Islands are a good place to fish, swim or just lie back in the sun.

The Town has an interesting history. When the Batchwezi kingdom folded around AD 1500, the Ankole kingdom was formed, with Mbarara as its Capital. Mbarara has got a total surface area of 7,346 sq. km, and it has vast resources. Mbarara's endowment is much richer than that of many (independent) countries of the world. The irony is that smaller and less endowed countries are performing better economically than Mbarara district. Mbarara 's surface area is bigger than 68 countries of the world, the majority of which have less resources. Mbarara is 283 kilometres (176 miles) from Kampala , 146 Kilometres (90miles) from Masaka, 147 kilometres (91miles) from Kabale, and 232 kilometres (144 miles) from Fort Portal. It is served by two good tarmac roads (one running from Kampala to Kabale and the other from Fort Portal). The bulk of Uganda enjoys a tropical climate that averages 26ºC during the day and 16ºC at night. The warmest months of the year are from December to February when the daytime range is 27 to 29ºC.
Extractions: SIYB originated from business management training materials called "Look After Your Firm" which had been developed by the Swedish Employers' Confederation. During the late 1970's, the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) funded an ILO project which adapted these materials to suit the needs of small entrepreneurs in developing countries. This new material was named “Improve Your Business” (IYB). At the same time, the ILO developed a specific training methodology, which was based on participatory learning and with an action oriented approach. The IYB training materials and methodology together became the IYB programme.

Status Paper STATUS OF TOBACCO CONTROL IN uganda. 1.0. INTRODUCTION. uganda s history on tobacco The uganda National Bureau of Standards working with other regional http://tean.globalink.org/statuspaper.html
Extractions: STATUS OF TOBACCO CONTROL IN UGANDA 1.0. INTRODUCTION Uganda's history on tobacco control has largely been one of concessions from the industry rather than deliberate legislative or policy effort by the Government. Tobacco is our second largest cash crop, grown in over 16 of our 60 districts. The tobacco industry contributes approximately 8% of our revenue, approximately US. $35 million and employs approximately 600,000 people. These hard economic facts coupled with scarce local scientific data on tobacco disease and prevalence perhaps prevent a build up of public and political support for tobacco control. Our President, while absolutely smitten by the apparent economic contributions of the tobacco industry to our economy remains by his own admission, unconvinced of the dangers of smoking. His Excellency has publicly expressed doubt on the links between cancer and smoking, a link that BAT itself now admit. Perhaps in typical African fashion, this thinking permeates through our political leadership and weakens the political will to address tobacco control.

Extractions: Description Sudan was a collection of small, independent kingdoms and principalities from the beginning of the Christian era until 1820-21, when Egypt conquered and unified the northern portion of the country. Historically, the pestilential swamps of the Suud discouraged expansion into the deeper south of the country. Although Egypt claimed all of the present Sudan during most of the 19th century, it was unable to establish effective control over southern Sudan, which remained an area of fragmented tribes subject to frequent attacks by slave raiders. In 1881, a religious leader named Muhammad ibn Abdalla proclaimed himself the Mahdi, or the âexpected one,â and began a religious crusade to unify the tribes in western and central Sudan. His followers took on the name âAnsarsâ (the followers), which they continue to use today; they are associated with the single largest political grouping, the Umma Party, led by the descendant of the Mahdi, Sadiq al-Mahdi. Taking advantage of conditions resulting from Ottoman-Egyptian exploitation and maladministration, the Mahdi led a nationalist revolt culminating in the fall of Khartoum in 1885. The Mahdi died shortly thereafter, but his state survived until overwhelmed by an Ango-Egyptian force under Lord Kitchener in 1898. Sudan was proclaimed a condominium in 1899 under British-Egyptian administration. While maintaining the appearance of joint administration, the British Empire formulated policies and supplied most of the top administrators.

Extractions: Feminist Knowledge Review of The Rising Tide: Uganda's Women's Struggles for a Public Voice, 1940-2002 , Kampala: FOWODE, 2002. by Sylvia Tamale I believe that the context in which you read a book has great influence on how you appreciate it. I read The Rising Tide in the charming town of Stellenbosch, in the heart of the beautiful wine lands of the Western Cape, South Africa. Surrounded by vast acres of vineyards and against the majestic backdrop of steep mountains; I felt nothing but tranquillity, peace and relaxation. There could not have been a better place to read this collection of Ugandan women's intergenerational narratives. The Rising Tide is extremely inspiring and a wonderful source of optimism for the new generation of Ugandan feminists. The book title, as well as the section headings, is highly evocative and the clever use of the "water metaphor" resonates very well with the actual 'drift' of Ugandan women's lives. In varied ways, all the stories in this book challenge male stream politics by going against the tide. After closing the last page of this book, the reader is left with no doubt whatsoever that the tide is indeed rising and moving in the right direction for Ugandan women.
Extractions: History: For most of the period since independence in 1962, politically inspired violence has been endemic in Uganda. President Obote, who banned opposition parties in 1969, was overthrown by the notorious Idi Amin, who remained in power until he was deposed by a joint force of Tanzanian forces and Ugandan exiles in 1979. Obote subsequently returned to office but he too found himself fighting guerrilla groups the remnants of Amins army and Yoweri Musevenis National Resistance Army (NRA). The third major military force in the country was the Uganda National Liberation Army (UNLA), led by Tito Okello. In July 1985, Obote was overthrown once again, this time by a military council with Okello at its head. The Okello government lasted just six months, a period dominated by fighting against Musevenis NRA. The latter, enjoying more popular support than Okellos UNLA, took control of the capital in January 1986, and established a National Resistance Council to govern the country. Many of Ugandas problems in recent years have had their origins in relations with its various neighbours. Relations with Kenya have been fairly good but in the case of Sudan, both governments have regularly accused the other of supporting regional insurrections. Sudan has long claimed that Uganda supports the Sudanese Peoples Liberation Army (SPLA). Meanwhile, Sudan has evidently given some backing to the bizarre and extremely violent Lords Resistance Army (LRA), a quasi-religious outfit that has terrorised the border regions of northern Uganda by deliberately targeting civilians.

Extractions: Cuba Korean Peninsula Palestine-Israel ... Zimbabwe SUDAN - HISTORY Sudan, located in northeast Africa on the Red Sea, is the largest country in Africa. It is also one of the most violent and poverty-stricken. It has known only 10 years (1972-82) without civil war and massive population displacement since it was granted independence from Britain in 1956. The wars are rooted in northern economic, political, social, and religious domination of the non-Muslim, non-Arab southern Sudanese people. It is estimated by the UN and churches that since the war resumed in 1983, more than 2 million people have died and four to five million displaced due to war- and famine-related causes. In 2003 Islamic extremists attacked black Sudanese in the western Darfur region where thousands died and more than a million more displaced in a humanitarian disaster that continued through 2004. With the discovery of oil in the south and demands by the Khartoum government that the revenues go to the national government, war broke out again in 1983 and there has been no peace since. Decades of war have led to a large refugee population, as well as millions of landmines around the country. Children have been kidnapped and forced to serve as soldiers. Slavery is another monstrous human rights violation, which has continued for more than 300 years. North African Arabs and Arab Moors buy, sell and breed black Africans for the slave trade. The country has been ravaged by drought, famine, desertification, soil erosion, poaching of endangered animal species and excessive hunting. The oil fields of southern Sudan have been developed by international corporations but are also the cause of brutal repression of southerners who are demanding a share of the lucrative royalties.
