The feedback of Internet Ivestigative Journalism, under the trainer from Finnish Broadcasting Company YLE Radio Finland, Mr. Peik Johansson in collaboration with MISA-Tanzania was very useful.
We learned a lot of things about internet investigative Journalism, clearly every one got some things from Mr. Peik, he is good trainer and he knows how to deal with the beginners.
MY opinions on these one is 3 days is not enough,my be it can be for four days at least, to finish some of the materials or to know the person who does not understand, and to make the course be usiful.
Thanks.

The Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) in Uganda
Who is The Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) is a militant group that has been engaged in conflict with the Ugandan government and is leding with Joseph Kony.Kony, clamed to be fighting for the establishment of a government based on the Ten Commandments. since the 1990s the fighting has been started with Ugandan Government in the North against the Lord’s Resistance Army. Kony is accused of carrying out widespread abduction of children to serve as soldiers or sex slaves. It is estimated that the LRA have abducted around 30,000 children and the civil war has led to the displacement of 1.6 million people from Northern Uganda and the deaths, mutilations and kidnappings of more than 100,000 people.
The war in northern Uganda has been called the most neglected humanitarian emergency in the world today. For the past 23 years, the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and the Government of Uganda, have been waging a war that has left nearly two million innocent civilians caught in the middle. The Govemment of Ugand tried to protect its citizens from this rebel militia but has failed, resulting in an entire generation of youth that has never known peace.
But when this fighting going on also there were a process of peace talks, in order to to end cease fire. From June 2006 to March 2008 in Juba, Sudan, the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and the Government of Uganda started series of peace talks to end the conflict. These peace talks, supported by special envoys from the United States and other nations, allowed for the longest period of peace in northern Uganda’s 23-year war.
On March of 2008, the Final Peace Agreement (FPA) was ready but . Kony has refused to sign any peace agreement unless the charges made against him by the ICC are dropped.
Since the collapse of the peace talks, the LRA has been active in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Central African Republic (CAR) and southern Sudan, drawing widespread disapproval from the international community and igniting a new urgency to end what has become a complex regional conflict.
In the last two years, an estimated 900,000 of the 1.8 million displaced have returned to their homes. But that leaves one million people currently living in the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps.
According to BBC News: US President Barack Obama has said he is sending about 100 US soldiers to Uganda to help regional forces battle the notorious Lord's Resistance Army. LRA rebel leader Joseph Kony is wanted by the International Criminal Court.

Wangari Maathai founded the Green Belt movement in Kenya.
The Kenyan and African people in general we have lost a person who is the green belt movement, founder, not only that a professer, a winner of nobel peace prize 2004.also I can say is the woman who has received a number of nobels in Africa.
Since 1984 up to 2011 she has awarded an award of defference essues that why I have reison to call her (mwanaharakati wa maendeleo nchini Kenya) not only in kenya but in Africa and in the world.
Wangari Maathai is the first woman in central or eastern Africa to hold a Ph.D., first woman head of a university department in Kenya, first African woman to win the Nobel Prize in Peace.
Her field was ecology, sustainable development, self help, tree planting, environment, member of Parliament, Deputy Minister in the Ministry of Environment, Natural Resources and Wildlife
Wangari Maathai founded the Green Belt movement in Kenya in 1977, which has planted more than 10 million trees to prevent soil erosion and provide firewood for cooking fires. A 1989 United Nations report noted that only 9 trees were being replanted in Africa for every 100 that were cut down, causing serious problems with deforestation: soil runoff, water pollution, difficulty finding firewood, lack of animal nutrition, etc.
The program has been carried out primarily by women in the villages of Kenya, who through protecting their environment and through the paid employment for planting the trees are able to better care for their children and their children's future.
In 1991, Wangari Maathai was arrested and imprisoned; an Amnesty International letter-writing campaign helped free her. In 1999 she suffered head injuries when attacked while planting trees in the Karura Public Forest in Nairobi, part of a protest against continuing deforestation. She was arrested numerous times by the government of Kenyan President Daniel arap Moi.
In January, 2002, Wangari Maathai accepted a position as Visiting Fellow at Yale University's Global Institute for Sustainable Forestry.
And in December, 2002, Wangari Maathai was elected to Parliament, as Mwai Kibabi defeated Maathai's long-time political nemesis, Daniel arap Moi, for 24 years the President of Kenya. Kibabi named Maathai as Deputy Minister in the Ministry of Environment, Natural Resources and Wildlife in January, 2003.
Wangari Maathai died of complications arising from ovarian cancer while receiving treatment at a Nairobi hospital on 25 September 2011.

Nestle boycoit
MY name is Celina J Matuja
Many people in various countries has warned about feeding their babies milk from china last year after finding out that some liquid milk could be contaminated.
The worned comes Septemba 19, 2008 after several infants died and thousands were sickened by tainted milk formula in China.
Starbucks stores in China have stopped serving milk from a particular supplier after tha happen and Starbucks customers are major consumers of milk, which is a base for many drinks.
Batches of liquid milk and yogurt produced by China Mengniu Dairy Co., Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial Group Co. and Bright Dairy & Food Co. also were found to be tainted by the chemical melamine, China's quality watchdog said.
The government ordered the companies to recall the 24 batches of liquid milk and yogurt and pull them from store shelves, according to a statement from China's Administration of Quality Supervision.
The WHO has declared that baby milk substitutes should not be advertised and should not be given away as samples to hospitals and clinics. Nestle has been reported as challenging their need to comply with these rules, defying them, and allegedly putting their own profit before the safety of babies.
There is much research and information now that shows a mother's own breast milk is the healthiest for her baby. A few mothers may have problems breastfeeding, and so there is a small need for a reliable substitute. But generally breast milk is the way to go, and there are groups who have long been advocating the promotion of "breast is best'' .
So it is better to Avoid milk that contains bovine growth hormone, antibiotics, and pesticides. That means you should drink only organic milk. These chemicals may be responsible for some of the health problems associated with milk. Use organic dairy products (ice cream, cheese, yogurt) whenever possible.
