Northern Uganda Accord issue 11 - Protracted conflict, elusive peace: initiatives to end the violence in northern Uganda Since the mid-1980s, the internal conflict between the Ugandan government and the Lord's Resistance Army has become linked to larger geopolitical interests - in particular the conflict in southern Sudan. While a meaningful peace process remains elusive, this issue documents significant peacemaking initiatives undertaken by internal and external actors. It analyses the impact of civil society initiatives, traditional reconciliation processes and the child rights agenda on the dynamics of the conflict and attempts to find peace. Institutional collaboration Kacoke Madit is an Ugandan Acholi Diaspora peace initiative that aims to establish and consolidate dialogue with and among parties to the conflict in northern Uganda with the ultimate goal of enhancing opportunities for a negotiated settlement. CR began a collaboration with the KM Secretariat (based in London) in 1998.
