50 Jahre Unabhängigkeit

Bestandsaufnahme zum Goldenen Jubiläum Ugandas

Mit 2012 geht das „goldene Jubiläumsjahr“ zu Ende – Uganda feierte in diesem Jahr sein fünfzigjähriges Bestehen als unabhängiger Staat. Am 9. Oktober 1962 erlangte das Land seine Unabhängigkeit von Großbritannien. Es folgten Jahrzehnte der Militärdiktaturen und des Bürgerkrieges, ein Einparteiensystem und schließlich der Schritt zur Mehrparteiendemokratie.

Happy(?) Birthday, SĂĽdsudan

Der jüngste Staat der Welt wird ein Jahr alt – wie kommt der Staatsaufbau voran?

Vor genau einem Jahr war es soweit – nach einem Referendum Anfang letzten Jahres wurde am 9. Juli 2011 die unabhängige Republik Südsudan euphorisch aus der Taufe gehoben: Der mehr als zwanzigjährige Bürgerkrieg war beendet, der Jubel in Juba war groß. Doch schon bald schlug die Aufbruchstimmung in Katerstimmung um: Zentrale Konfliktpunkte mit dem nördlichen Nachbarn waren ungeklärt geblieben – so etwa der genaue Grenzverlauf, die Abwicklung des Ölgeschäfts oder die Verteilung der Öleinnahmen und Auslandsschulden. Diese Fragen wirken sich bis heute destabilisierend aus.
