All the glimmering stars : a novel
\"Inspired by a true story, two teens kidnapped by an African warlord find salvation through love in a powerful and healing historical novel. Anthony Opoka and Florence Okori are coming of age in Uganda in the 1990s. Outstanding students, they believe in being good humans before they are kidnapped and forced into the fanatical Lord's Resistance Army. In a legion of young recruits, no one gets closer than Anthony to powerful messianic warlord Joseph Kony and his darkest secrets. To stay sane as he spirals through chaos, Anthony clings to his childhood lessons about being a good human. Florence's upbringing grounds her, too, helping her keep her dreams alive even as she's pulled deeper into the insanity of Kony's war. At the lowest points of their lives, certain they'll never go home, Anthony and Florence meet by chance, fall in love, and begin to dream of surviving their captivity. They devote their lives to helping their fellow child soldiers escape bondage and return to their families and redemption by following the stars. By turns tender, shocking, moving, desperate, and ultimately triumphant, Florence and Anthony's story is an epic drama of humanity, a life-affirming tale, and an experience readers will never forget.\" -- Goodreads.

NIEPAŃSTWOWI AKTORZY DYPLOMACJI OPARTEJ NA WIERZE W PROCESIE POKOJOWYM NA PRZYKŁADZIE INICJATYWY POKOJOWEJ LIDERÓW RELIGIJNYCH ACHOLI
Parallel to the actors of classical diplomacy, non-state actors are engaged in efforts to restore peace. A particular category among them comprises actors of faith-based diplomacy, whose participation in peace processes incorporates their unique tools of mediation and reconciliation. An illustrative example of the specificity of non-state actors practicing faith-based diplomacy is the activity of a group of religious leaders associated with the Acholi community in promoting the peaceful resolution of the rebellion in Northern Uganda that began in 1986. To understand the operational capacity of non-state actors engaged in faith-based diplomacy, this article will analyse the means employed by members of the Acholi Religious Leaders Peace Initiative at both the domestic and international levels, as well as the reception of their actions by the conflict parties and the international community.

Exploring the Lives of Children Born of Conflict‐Related Sexual Violence Through Art
Although the realities of children born of conflict‐related sexual violence have gained increased attention, limited research has explored the issue from the perspectives of the children themselves. Drawing upon a sample of 79 children born of sexual violence in Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) captivity, and using arts‐based methods, this study explored the wartime and post‐conflict experiences directly from children born of conflict‐related sexual violence in northern Uganda. The study illustrates how the arts‐based methods of mask‐making, drawing, and life maps—developed in consultation with local researchers and youth born in LRA captivity—helped to capture the complex wartime and post‐war realities of this unique population of children and youth, as well as enabled young people to choose what to share and what to withhold during the research process. More easily distributed, accessed, and consumed than traditional academic publications, the medium of art can have a widespread, immediate, and powerful impact. The article concludes with the strengths, limitations, and ethical implications of arts‐based methods, as well as the importance of considering culture and context for future research.

Uganda Is Too Sexy: Reflections on Kony 2012
As if Uganda's place in the international limelight wasn't already assured, Kony 2012 hit the YouTubesphere on 5 March 2012 and went on to become \"the most viral video in history.\" The video, which was created by Invisible Children, Inc., calls for the continued presence of 100 US troops in Uganda, who arrived in October 2011 to assist the Ugandan army in tracking down Joseph Kony. Like many of Invisible Children's advocacy techniques, the video was familiar in its self-aggrandizing, sensationalist, and oversimplified representations of the complexities of conflict and post-conflict Uganda.
