CEGUN Documentary on Acholi Genocide

CEGUN (Campaign to End Genocide in Uganda Now), has released a mini-documentary about the ongoing genocide in Acholiland. The documentary focuses on the "protected villages" the Ugandan government set up as a method of "protecting" people from the LRA. Instead, the villagers became sitting targets in the camps, and the camps themselves became death traps, characterized by disease, hunger and death.

At one point over 1,000 people were dying weekly as a result of the conditions in the camps. Today, a hepatitis epidemic has begun to spread through camps in Kitgum District, as a result of similar conditions.

Featured in the film are Olara Otunnu, former UN Undersecretary General for Children in Armed Conflict, Milton Allimadi, Black Star News Publisher and CEGUN members Lucy Larom, Gloria Oloya, Kathy Smith and Tim Hardy.
