Diane’s farewell message
After 52 years at WAMU, Diane Rehm says goodbye.
Ongoing peace talks hold out hope for stability in northern Uganda, a region torn apart by war for 20 years. But experts say the war is only part of the reason northern Uganda suffers the country’s worst rates of HIV infection and death from AIDS. Diane and her guests talk about Uganda’s struggle for peace and what it could mean for the civilians of northern Uganda.
