Rebel Lives. Photographs from inside the Lord's Resistance Army.

International Review of Social History, 2006

This article examines the civil war in central Uganda between guerrillas of the National Resistance Army and the government of Milton Obote between 1981 and 1986. Its central focus is the wartime experience of guerrilla fighters – men, women, and children. The material for the article has been collected through interviews with participants about their experiences. The interview partners described their motives and expectations as guerrillas as well as their perception of the reality of war “in the bush”. Their narratives differ from the victorious guerrilla's official history of the war and the guerrilla myth cultivated in that history, as they lack the subsequent certainty of victory and emphasize the…

The Lord’s Resistance Army and War in Northern Uganda The Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) has become infamous for the horrific acts of violence it has perpetrated against civilians in the African Great Lakes region, as well as in South Sudan. Between 1986 and 2007, LRA units attacked and looted villages in Uganda, abducting tens of thousands in the process, and contributing to the forced displacement of over one million civilians in the region. Originally formed in Uganda, the rebel group primarily recruited Acholi men and women, an ethnic group based in the north of the country. The Acholi people have historically been marginalized by the Ugandan government and, as such, have accumulated grievances against the state. Perhaps in response to this marginalization, the original stated objective of the LRA was to overthrow the Ugandan government to make way for a

Rosenthal (2017) Rebels in Northern Uganda after their return to civilian life: between a strong we-image and experiences of isolation and discrimination,

Human Rights Quarterly, 2008

On 13 October 2005, the International Criminal Court unsealed warrants of arrest for five senior leaders of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) for the forced conscription of children and other war crimes in northern Uganda. We compiled a database of 25,231 children and youth who had been registered by receptions centers in northern Uganda after their return from the LRA. Most of the LRA returnees were thirteen to eighteen years old (37 percent) and nineteen to thirty years old (24 percent). Twenty-four percent of the LRA returnees were female and 76 percent were male. The average length of abduction was 342 days, and the median number of days of abduction was ninety-two days. Among women aged nineteen to thirty years old, the average length of abduction was four and one half years. At the multivariate level, gender, age, and the interaction between them were associated with length of captivity (F-Statistic = 229.8, p-value = 0.0001). Using triangulation methods, we estimate the LRA abducted 54,000 to 75,000 people, including 25,000 to 38,000 children, into their ranks between 1986 and 2006.

The Handbook of Group Research and Practice

The introduction of systems theory into the study of groups and group practice provides a metatheory for understanding groups and group dynamics. Systems theory can be used to look at the functioning of any group, regardless of the theoretical orientation of the group practitioner or leader, or of the group goal. This applies to all groups, whether a therapy or work group, an organization, or a political body. Systems theory offers an orientation for thinking about how groups form, develop and change, and manage the vicissitudes of group dynamics. Systems thinking emerged from the shift of scientific assumptions that occurred in the early 20th century as theories of relativity and quantum mechanics upended the security of

The review unveils the microbial intricacies behind traditional Indian fermented beverages, elucidating the metabolic pathways shaping their unique flavors, aromas, and health benefits. Amino acid and fatty acid metabolisms contribute to diverse aroma compounds, while organic acid production influences acidity and tanginess. Microbial diversity, strain-level variations, and synergistic interactions add layers to the fermentation process. Ingredient influences in beverages like Lassi, Chhang, Kanji, Toddy, Feni, Apong, Kodo Ko Jaanr, and Handia are dissected. The role of yeast such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Torulaspora delbruecki, Pichia anomala in fermentation and health aspects of probiotic microorganisms, such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, are highlighted. The article emphasizes the need for careful handling to maintain microbial viability and stability. It also explores the potential for innovation in commercial production while preserving the authenticity of traditional beverages. The article provides a concise overview of the intricate microbial tapestry that defines Indian fermented beverages.
