New Post...
at the Eldeen's blog. Sorry I haven't had much to say lately - but I've been thinking about Karamoja a lot, so maybe I can come up with something later...

About
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.
Mini Glossary:
ejok nooi - hello
alakara - thank you
alakara akalip - thank you for praying
Akuj - God
akiru - rain
