Resolve Uganda releases new policy brief: The Peace Process Must Live On

In response to the recent developments with the negotiations process, and in light of the increasing debate over what this means for the prospects for peace in northern Uganda, Resolve Uganda is today releasing a new policy brief titled, "The Peace Process Must Live On: Juba's Lessons and Its Legacy."

The document looks at what happened to the Juba talks, what has happened in the time since Joseph Kony refused to sign the final peace agreement, and outlines options for moving forward.

The brief outlines a strategy for making sure that the progress made in these negotiations is not lost and that the people of northern Uganda still see an end to this war that they have endured for so long.

"Too often, when past attempts to end the war have faced setbacks, the diplomatic community has retreated. However, the recent resolution of other protracted conflicts show that successful peace processes entail multiple stages and require long-term persistence. At this critical juncture, it is imperative that international leaders intensify their efforts toward ultimately ensuring a peaceful resolution to this conflict. To do so, U.S. and international leaders must look beyond the narrow dichotomy of dialogue versus military aggression."
