Buildings have established check points to check for potential crimes of
terrorism. A growing economic crisis like unemployment has led to
increased petty and violent crime. There are also social crimes such as
defilement and domestic violence. These require much attention in the
public debate and need to be discussed by everybody.
LRA
It has been 5 years since the notorious Lord Resistance Army was chased out of Uganda into Congo and beyond. Still questions remain on the aftermath of the LRA war. In parts of Northern Uganda, lack of economic development and mental instability still exists as a testament to the war.
Terrorism
On 11 July 2010 there were bomb attacks in Kampala (one explosion at a
restaurant in Kabalagala (Tank Hill Road) and two at a rugby club in
Lugogo (Jinja Road)), killing over 70 people, and injuring many
more. Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for the bombs, the first major
terrorist attacks they have carried out outside Somalia.
