| | Arua fracas was preventable Taking time to generate ideas, formulate them, devise a strategy and anticipate possible problems seemed not enough in the Arua case.

Some of the families have had to persevere with the painful thoughts of not knowing exactly what happened to their missing loved ones... Read more |
