Editor's Correction: Uganda-CAN incorrectly wrote in an earlier blog entry that a Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) report stated that the situation in northern Uganda could be described as genocide. Our sincere apologies for this mistake.

The Daily Monitor has published an Op/Ed from the Uganda Conflict Action Network, titled "Uganda Needs a Solid Peace Plan." It reads, "In this electoral battlefield, it is hopeful that a debate on the state of affairs in Uganda will surface. And in that debate, it is vital that the most pressing issue facing contemporary Uganda, the longstanding war and consequent humanitarian crisis in the north, be put at the forefront."

It continues, "In light of this hellish reality, the most important question facing Uganda today is how the country moves toward a more hopeful and humane future. Given the inadequacy of the status quo, how will future political leaders make the necessary changes to expedite the resolution of this war and end the suffering of the people? Any candidate who cannot provide a comprehensive and convincing response to this question does not deserve to take the helm of the nation at this crossroads. Uganda deserves a comprehensive peace plan." Click here or below to read the whole text. This editorial outlines the stance of Uganda-CAN as Uganda heads into elections next month.
