Northern Uganda

This started as the on-line journal of Africa Anonymous while she was an Graduate Fellow researching and working in Northern Uganda. You gotta be good. You gotta be strong. You gotta be 2,000 places at once.

What does an LRA rebel look like? Onen Kamdulu was an LRA commander, seen here going through the streets of Gulu. Onen Kamdulu emerged from the bush last week - he surrendered to the UPDF. He was abducted as a young boy and remained in the bush for almost 19 years. The older man (mzee) with him is Kenneth Banya, a former LRA commander captured last year. Banya now walks the streets of Gulu, without hostility, with his mobile phone. Strange that a man who caused so much suffering (and maintains a young Karamajong girl) can exercise so much freedom. (This is actually my roommate's picture, as I wasn't there)

    Scary pictures and text, but you look great and your namesake is a doll. How much did she weigh?
