DESCRIPTION:Journalists from Africa will discuss the critical need to bring Africa's 
 evolving story of atrocities and justice to the world at large. They will 
 provide first-hand accounts of the impact on families of the terror 
 campaign waged by the Lord's Resistance Army rebels in northern Uganda, and 
 the devastating consequences of the sexual violence against women by all 
 sides in the conflicts in eastern DRC.\n\nJack Kahorha is a veteran print 
 and radio journalist based in Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo. He 
 speaks French, English, Swahili, and Lingala, and has won awards and 
 recognition for his work from the BBC.\n\nBill Oketch is a print and radio 
 journalist based Lira, northern Uganda. He has been deeply affected by the 
 conflict, having lost two brothers to attacks by the LRA.\n\nMuadi Mukenge 
 is the Global Fund for Women’s Regional Director for Sub-Saharan Africa 
 and oversees grant-making for that region.\n\nCassandra Herrman is a 
 producer and cinematographer based in Berkeley, California. For the PBS 
 series FRONTLINE/World, Ms. Herrman has photographed and produced numerous 
 documentaries. \n\nModerator: Peter Eichstaedt is Africa editor for IWPR. 
 His most recent book "First Kill your Family" was published in February. He 
 spent nearly two years in Uganda, Southern Sudan and the Democratic 
 republic of Congo chasing the notorious Lords Resistance Army, cataloguing 
 their crimes - murder, rape, recruiting child soldiers - in this largely 
 forgotten conflict.\n\nThis panel is part of a two day symposium sponsored 
 by The Human Rights Center at Berkeley and The MacArthur Foundation.\n
