Library of Congress Webcast from 9/7/2005. H.R.H. Queen of Buganda Nnabagereka Sylvia Nagginda presented "A Modern Queen in a Traditional Role" in a program sponsored by the African Section of the African and Middle Eastern Division.

rapid succession of oil strikes in western Uganda are increasing the likelihood that Tullow Oil and its joint-venture partner Heritage Oil are sitting on the largest new on-shore oil field in Africa. Heritage, which operates and half-owns two exploration blocks around Lake Albert in Uganda, built on previous discoveries on Tuesday when it announced its largest strike to date at the Giraffe well in Block 1.

"Democratic Republic of Congo, a vast country in the heart of central Africa, is trying to find its feet on the path to peace after a five-year conflict dubbed 'Africa's world war' that involved seven countries and enveloped the region. The country's first post-war elections were held in 2006, but the vote highlighted a deep east-west divide along ethnic and linguistic lines. Furthermore, many observers say ongoing violence in more remote areas could destabilise the peace process and re-ignite the regional war that officially ended in 2003. The largest U.N. peacekeeping force in the world is stationed in Congo, with 17,000 troops, and the International Criminal Court in The Hague has launched investigations into war crimes. [...] Dozens of heavily armed groups - some of them still reportedly backed by influential politicians or foreign governments such as Rwanda and Uganda - stoke ethnic rivalries and vie for control of valuable natural resources."
