This is the pre-election environment in Uganda. The head of the military brags about the abduction & torture of an opposition activist as a military unit raids the opposition party's HQ. He has been posting about torture for 2 days now. His father, President Museveni, has not stopped it.

The regime in South Sudan is not a transitional government - it is a dictatorship that represses its critics and manipulates ethnic divides to maintain its hold on power. This arbitrary action will do nothing to change that - it will punish people who have no say over how their country is governed.

The White House claims USIP Acting President George Moose was removed by USIP'S board - but only 3 of the 15-member Senate-confirmed board are listed below. Per law, USIP's meetings must be open to the public - there appears to be no record of a meeting on March 14.
