John Edwards, 2004 vice-presidential candidate for the Democratic Party, will announce this week his bid for the presidency in 2008. In a video on his web site, Edwards mentions U.S. action to end the "atrocities in northern Uganda" as a tenet of his campaign. Uganda-CAN does not yet endorse political candidates, but we certainly endorse political leadership that is willing to take responsibility to address one of the world's worst humanitarian nightmares.
