Although a final peace agreement has not been signed, the internally displaced persons’ (IDP) camps were decommissioned and people told to return home. The war in northern Uganda has been well documented – its causes and the actors (see Allen 2006; Allen & Vlassenroot 2010; Atkinson 2009; Finnstrom 2008), as well as the untold suffering that unarmed civilians, men, women and children have gone through as a result (see de Temmerman 2001; Dolan 2009; Eichsraedt 2009; Green 2008; Ovuga, Oyok & Moro 2008).enCommunity RestorationUnityNorthern UgandaArticle
