In a fit of hyper-productivity I just put three posts on Transitional Justice issues in sub-Saharan Africa up onto the Transitional Justice Forum blog.

They are on Uganda, Sudan (including Darfur), and Charles Taylor and the Special Court for Sierra Leone.

The last of those is heavily based on the JWN post I had on the topic last week. The other two contain considerably more new material. Read especially Moses Okello's great commentary from Kampala on the ICC and Northern Uganda.
