What are the primary objectives of Uganda's military operations in eastern DRC, considering the timing and scale of its deployments relative to the M23's advances?

Uganda's military presence in eastern DRC, ostensibly to combat the ADF rebels, masks a complex interplay of security concerns, economic interests, and political maneuvering. The Ugandan army's Operation Shujaa, launched in late 2021, coincided with M23's significant territorial gains, raising questions about Uganda's true intentions. Despite claims of focusing on security, Uganda's troop movements and economic activities in the region suggest a broader strategic agenda.

How do the ADF's responses to reported sexual assaults compare to practices in other workplaces, and what systemic factors contribute to the disparity?

The ADF's inaction connects to broader patterns of institutional failures to address sexual violence, particularly within hierarchical structures where codes of loyalty and power dynamics may overshadow accountability. The government's delay in launching a promised inquiry into military sexual violence, nine months after the Royal Commission's recommendation, further underscores this systemic problem. This inaction contrasts sharply with expectations of appropriate responses in other workplaces.
