Yesterday, Michael Poffenberger, Resolve Uganda's Executive Director, was a guest on Volce of America's internationally broadcast television program, "Straight Talk Africa." The topic of the program was the role of youth in conflict resolution, and Michael spoke specifically about the growing activism in America, aimed at increasing the international leadership necessary to bring an end to Uganda's war. "Our generation faces a new opportunity here in the United States. The youth have been the conscious of our country in times of need - from civil rights to the anti-apartheid movement," Michael said. The key issue here is overcoming the neglect that we've seen from our leaders, and youth are an important part of that equation."
