President Bush: Use Tomorrow's Meeting to Give Peace a Real Chance in Uganda

Dear President Bush,

I am writing to thank you for your increase in support for the ongoing negotiations aimed at ending Uganda's two-decade war and to ask that you make sure this progress isn't reversed by a return to military action.

The Juba Peace Talks have brought relative calm to northern Uganda for the first time in decades and the increase in security has allowed some of its people to begin to leave displacement camps to return home. But unless these talks succeed and peace comes, life will never be normal for the millions of people in northern Uganda who have endured the effects of this war for more than twenty years. The ongoing negotiations still represent the most viable opportunity to achieve lasting peace in the region and I hope that you will do all that you can to make sure that they are given a real chance to succeed.

To that end, I hope that you will use tomorrow's historic meeting with Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni to re-affirm the United States' full support for the negotiations process and to convey our opposition to any military action that might jeopardize their success.

Thank you.
