Whats in place for their economic self sufficiency, social stability and psycho-social well - being? Could the National Transitional Justice Policy be a beacon for return and reintegration! @odokonyero_joel @OPMUganda @pwatchug @norbertmao

UPDATE: At least 45 former Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) abductees and their children were on Monday repatriated from Wao, South Sudan to Uganda through Gulu Airfield. They arrived at around 10:40am and were received by intelligence chief Maj Gen Richard Owili Otto, alongside political, cultural, and religious leaders. The group is receiving medical attention before being transferred to the Terra Renaissance Rehabilitation Center in Gulu City, James Owich reports.

Personally I agree to this move - reduce court case loads, build relationships and peaceful coexistance

I wish you could start with burning caveras, and then stopping werland destruction

Greateful to have taken the leaders through case management... A learning from the mental health session is that.... poverty is the leading cause of depression. Hence we need to work together to set humanity free of poverty @odokonyero_joel @UNDP @OPMUganda

[Refugee Law Project @refugeelawproj]

We are building capacity of 15 Sudanese Refugee Leaders of Kawempe & Entebbe in a 2 day session on case management, assessment, documentation, #GBV, mental health & peace-building. @OPMUganda & the leaders committed to promote security & peaceful co-existence thru info sharing.

It was a great moment to be part of the team, especially taking lead on how to do conflict analysis and mainstreaming transitional justice in development & humanitarian work for refugees and hosts.

[Refugee Law Project @refugeelawproj]

Today we trained 20 policy makers in Kiryandongo on sustainable peace-building & Transitional Justice, focusing on inclusive approaches, accountability & long-term stability. @OPMUganda, @UNHCRuganda & office of the CAO committed to collaborate & work together with policy makers.

When formal institutions are inaccessible and exclusive, can informal political spaces contribute to achieving long term peace? Build resilience and cohesive societies? @odokonyero_joel @oumapaokello @deozkom

Eeehhh Diana why did you this to me. It's a clip I always watch and laugh. Working with youth on transitional justice and peace building. This made me realized that I have the moves and loved my work. @odokonyero_joel @africanngos @martinodong8 @GroomLesli85913 @sara

[Denis Barnabas @BarnabasOtim]

Should peace building & transitional justice be a long-term process driven by short-term realities? @africanngos @GroomLesli85913 @odokonyero_joel @refugeelawproj @PeaceCorps @jvplive

This was the day I realized that the person who learns most in a classroom is the teacher and any knowledge transfer through the Feynman Technique gives the best results for all. Hopefully, the professors and educationist adapt this model for knowledge transfer.

[Denis Barnabas @BarnabasOtim]

I affirm that our Minister of Justice & Constitutional Affairs is committed to seeing the National Transitional Justice Policy translate in to a Law. @MoJCA_UG @Parliament_Ug @refugeelawproj @odokonyero_joel @africanngos @martinodong8 @LyandroGulu

One of the functions of UPDF is to foster harmony & understanding - by building strong relationship with the civilian population. Why then use force? Why abuse this function enshrined in the UPDF Act? Where is the accountability?

It's a plus that we have functional National Protection Mechanisms for HRD work all we need to do is to intentionally finance them to do their work. Support the @UgandaPrisons @UHRC_UGANDA @JLOSUganda and empower the LCs, the media and the community for better protection work.

[Gulu Women Economic Development & Globalization @GWEDGUga]

Thanks to @NCHRD_UG for convening the protection service providers training in Gulu City. Keeping something/someone safe: understanding HRD contexts, risks, threats & protection mechanisms for Human Rights Defenders (HRDs). @DigiDefenders @DefendDefenders @BarnabasOtim

Even the big humps have no signs. Whoever is responsible please help us save lives before it's too late. @UNRA_UG

[Odokonyero Joel @odokonyero_joel]

Lira-Kamdini road is now super good, however a serious death trap to be urgently addressed. The road marking needs to be rectified as even in dangerous corners (like at Aber Prisons junction) the dotted lines are misleading. Absurd, I hope @assempebwa & @M_Kananura can follow up

[Denis Barnabas @BarnabasOtim]

It's alleged that this road is found in West Nile Sub- Region in Uganda & that it also connects Uganda to DR Congo. A business route &
for the past 20 years nothing has been done much to uplift it's status. It gets worst in rainny season. @UNRA_UG
