His work contrasts with modern African music, often recorded in European studios. Ben Redjeb meticulously selects, licenses, and documents these records, focusing on personal preference rather than creating a comprehensive archive. Analog Africa has re-released 24 vinyl records and offers downloads on its website.

Uganda Tightens Foreign Adoption Rules

Voice of America 15 Mar 2016 English

The Ugandan parliament has passed a new law making it more difficult for foreigners to adopt children, aiming to close loopholes exploited by child traffickers. The law restricts guardianship to Ugandan nationals and requires foreign adoptive parents to stay in Uganda for at least one year. Proponents argue it addresses child exploitation, while critics believe it may deprive needy children of better opportunities abroad. Child rights activists call for a temporary moratorium on inter-country adoptions until new monitoring procedures are established.
