The old maxim goes: "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." Well in this case we've fooled you and ourselves about seven times! For the last few months, we have been telling you that UgandaCAN.org would soon be redirecting to our new political organization, Resolve Uganda. I am writing today to tell you that is no longer the case. With your input, we have decided to keep Uganda-CAN as a project of Resolve Uganda, still committed to daily monitoring of the news, providing the best conflict analysis and fostering an epistemic community - all toward supporting peace in northern Uganda.

When we launched Uganda-CAN in June 2005, we had a simple idea: that activism is at its best when it is informed. A lot has changed since that time, but we remain committed to that vision. Behind the heart-wrenching portrayal of a "needy" northern Uganda is a complex and dynamic place in which people, no different than you and me, are struggling for survival, to keep their families together, to overcome twenty-one years of oppression. In the coming months, we will be delving deeper into their stories, their environment, and how they connect with our own. We'll have cutting edge analysis from Gulu, from Kampala, from London, from the UN headquarters in New York, from Washington D.C. I hope you'll join us and make Uganda-CAN your first stop for stay informed about the changing situation in northern Uganda.
