Here at New Growth we strive to bring to light positive steps being made and being planned to be made in this world to push forward the agenda to bring a very holistic kind of prosperity to every corner of the globe. We highlighted the Uganda peace process to end a 22 year old insurgency in the North of the country in April. Sadly, the process was cut short just as it was coming to a very advanced stage when Northern rebel leader Joseph Kony refused to sign a peace agreement that would begin a process of demobilization of his troops citing lingering queries and doubts about the whole peace deal. The Ugandan Government responded to this move with exasperation -refusing to engage with Kony on anything outside the set out peace process. The stage appeared set for the resumption of hostilities. But it needn’t go down that direction. There are those who think that return to the peace table is possible and positive; the relief agency World Vision posts a Press release in allafrica.com (which is worth a look by anyone concerned about Uganda!) in which it pushes for the case of non-abandonment of the dialog and endeavour for peace. Their argument is very much worth looking into, especially with the peace process having gone so far, and the destiny of millions in Uganda might depend on how much action is taken on their recommendations.
