Re: Acholi Annual Conference

I am sincerely grateful to confirm to you on behalf of the Executive Committee of Acholi Association and on my own behalf, that this year, Acholi Association has organised for the first time, a two-day Acholi Annual Conference in London, commencing this weekend from Saturday the 1st to Sunday the 2nd October 2005. Each day the conference starts at 4.00 pm and ends at 7.00 pm sharp. The Venue is 2 Britannia Street, King’s Cross, London WC1X 9JE (on the first floor of the Golden Lion building), situated between Britannia Street and King’s Cross road. The nearest Tube Stations are Angel and King’s Cross. All buses to the two tube stations are for convenient reach.

The theme of the conference is “The Current State of Acholiland and People”. The conference will address issues including the continuous genocide being committed on Acholi people, exposing backings by the International community and questions Acholi Independence. In addition, the conference will tackle the quirky Peace Talks between the NRM government and the LRA opposition forces.

By the end of the conference presentations and workshops discussions of issues affecting Acholi people, attendants will come-up with important decisions that will help shape the future of our generations now and generations to come. Your personal involvement and in particular contributions of a conference paper if any, are of indispensable importance. This conference is part of AA’s annual programme and indeed follows discussions of the last AA Seminar.

Please also allow at this stage, to convey our heart-felt gratitude and sincere appreciations to those of you who spared time and turned up for the last AA Seminar of 2 July 2005. We took your views and points on board for serious implementation. Because of various reasons though, some of you could not attend the meeting. We understand the strenuous circumstances, so your apologies and well wishes are accepted and highly appreciated. As things are heating-up in Uganda, it will be great for you not to miss this time.

It will be most exciting to be with you there.

Yours Sincerely

J C Amone
Chairman
