Uganda Government Initiates Documentation of Former LRA Fighters in Acholi Sub-region
DEFENSE
The Ugandan government has commenced a three-week initiative to document former Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) fighters in the Acholi Sub-region, addressing concerns over neglect and land rights. Led by the Office of the Prime Minister, the effort aims to register former fighters and children born of war, while providing support programs such as vocational training and psychosocial assistance to facilitate their reintegration into communities. This initiative follows the resettlement of approximately 27,000 former rebel members since 2000 under the Amnesty Act.
