Museveni, Kagame will take Uhuru to Hague

By: William Korir2014-10-02 18:26Nairobi - Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni and his Rwandese counterpart Paul Kagame will take president Uhuru Kenyatta to the Hague if he does indeed travel.

The two leaders have apparently agreed to offer support to the president in his plight to clear his name of Crimes against humanity charges at the ICC.

He has been ordered to head to the Hague next week, October 8 for a status conference on his trial.

According to sources at State House, the two leaders had called in personally to offer their support to the president.

" He has been offered the support of the two leaders, that I can confirm", the source close to events told News24.

" They will travel with him if he goes there anyway", the source added.

The president has already been backed by over 100 MPs who will go with him to the Netherlands next week.

Whether the president will indeed travel is yet to be known with talks between his legal team and advisers still ongoing over the move to take.

As reported earlier by News24, the president's legal team has insisted he goes to the Hague to avoid  picking up further baggage in a case they feel is close to collapse.

Some of his close advisers though, feel that it will weaken him as a president and a leader if he travels, even though the ramifications of him missing would be huge.

" He will most likely go. The majority believe it is better he goes to avoid reviving a case that is close to collapse. That is the feeling at the moment", the source added.

HOW TO ASSESS NGO CAPACITY? A Resource Book on Organisational Assessment

The assessment of organisations is very much like the six blind. It is the same organisation, but conclusions vary dramatically depending on who describes and evaluates, and the purpose of the assessment. To some extent this is necessary. Organisations are complex "animals" that need to be examined from many different perspectives. As such, there is not only one organisation, but several images of the same organisation depending on people's different perceptions. On the other hand, we believe that a more systematic approach helps to provide a better understanding of organisations and their dynamics. It is increasingly being realised that NGO performance is linked to and depends on organisational capacity. Capacity building or organisational development have become key aims and strategies in respect of the cooperation between Northern and Southern NGOs. NGOs in the North and South are thus faced with new challenges. How do they form the basis for constructive collaboration...

The world's bloodiest conflict since World War II is still rumbling on today. It is a war in which more than five million people have died, millions more have been driven to the brink by starvation and disease and several million women and girls have been raped. The Great War of Africa, a conflagration that has sucked in soldiers and civilians from nine nations and countless armed rebel groups, has been fought almost entirely inside the borders of one unfortunate country - the Democratic Republic of Congo. Many of the country's mining operations ...
