Livingstone Langol, a devoted member of the Northern Uganda Media Club (NUMEC), calls the Ugandan government’s recent approval for expanding sugarcane plantations “an unforgivable shame for all investors, government leaders, and local collaborators.” The forests, which provide essential ecological benefits, are being compromised for short-term agricultural gains.
