Desmond Tutu’s Address to #UgandaWarVictims

Published:

In May 2014, the African Youth Initiative (AYINET) hosted the National War Victims’ Conference in Kampala, Uganda. The event provided a powerful platform for war victims in Africa to engage with Government, civil society and development partners, and proved to be a springboard for greater global awareness of the plight of war victims.


As patron of the African Leadership Institute (AFLI), Archbishop Desmond Tutu provided the opening address to the conference. As a result of playing this video, Tutu Fellow Victor Ochen, Director and Founder of AYINET, was invited by Angelina Jolie, the Special Envoy for the UN Commissioner for Refugees, and the Foreign Secretary, William Hague to London to take part in the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict.
