This is an amazing story about three Ugandan sisters who've just been reunited; two of them were captured and raped by rebels from the DR Congo eight years ago and just were returned home.
I spent a total of 18 weeks in South Karamoja, Uganda between 2004-2006; this blog is part travel journal and part Karamoja/Africa news. Uganda is a country in East Africa, slightly smaller than Wyoming and with a pop. of 22 million; Karamoja is on the eastern side. (See this map.)
Coffee is the major export crop. In Karamoja,
cattle are the measure of wealth; people also grow sorghum, beans, and peanuts.
