NGOs Join Journalists in Demanding Full Disclosure of Uganda’s Oil Agreements | Africa

A Ugandan court today heard an application by a group of civil society organizations seeking to be included in an appeal in a case over access to government information filed by two senior Daily Monitor journalists, Charles Mwanguhya Mpagi and Angelo Izama. The appeal asks for the full disclosure of all prospecting and exploitation agreements between the government and oil companies regarding newly discovered fields in the western part of the country. The case was filed in February last year, but the Nakawa Chief Magistrates Court dismissed initial litigation after government defended its decision to conceal the details of the contracts. http://www.voanews.com/content/ngos-join-journalists-in-demanding-full-disclosure-of-ugandas-oil-agreements-141783903/179866.html

Uganda Welcomes Oil, but Fears Graft It Attracts

THE US on Monday denied that its renewed interest in Uganda is a strategy to get hold of the newly found oil in the country. The US government has announced that it will deploy troops to help Uganda fight the rebels of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) who are currently in the Central African Republic.

Obama Takes on the LRA

Snapshot Nairobi sent troops into Somalia last month ostensibly to root out Islamist militants.
While being featured in a critical article on the official website of such a large non-profit is both disturbing and flattering, my feelings about the organization remain largely firm.
