Winston Churchill coined the phrase, and even with all the turmoil in Africa this century, it remains true – Uganda is ‘The Pearl of Africa.’ Geographically diverse and multicultural, it is the crossroads of the Continent. Yet today, that ‘Pearl’ has become a ‘Pearl of Great Price.’ It is under tremendous strain as the neighbor to a half-dozen major conflicts. Remarkably, it remains a refuge for millions of them, and at the invitation of the government! A nation of 40 million people is host to almost 3 million displaced citizens of several warring countries.
