I hope the New Year has been treating our Emerging Civil War readers well. I just wanted to apologize for being out of touch for so long: I’ve been in Uganda since the start of the New Year and just got back on Monday. Although my work in Africa wasn’t Civil War-related, I kept a blog about my adventures at Scholars & Rogues. Anyone interested in hearing more about the trip can check it out here (start with the oldest entry at the bottom and work your way toward newer entries as you work your way toward the top).
