I just returned from Uganda, and the main question people have is “why now?”.

“Today I can announce that our advisors will continue their efforts to bring this madman to justice and to save lives as part of a regional strategy to end the scourge that is the LRA and to help realize a future in which no African child is stolen from their family and no girl is raped and no boy is turned into a child soldier.”

— President Barack Obama, April 23, 2012.

A crazy place, a crazy experience. Here’s what happened to me:

I was nearly stabbed in the foot by a massive stick that went straight through my shoe;

We ran over and killed a dog on the Kampala Gulu Road on our way north;

I thought I was going to be raped by a boda boda driver in Gulu;

I was close to being arrested by the Ugandan Police for filming at a ceremony where the President of Uganda was present at;

I almost died in a car accident in Pader, where we rolled 3 times after hitting a massive pot hole &

I was almost attacked after being chased by a huge baboon near Karuma Falls….

Let’s hope my last week in Uganda is a bit on the safer side (but somehow I doubt it will be!)
