Celebrating AYINET's 20th Anniversary
Today, we look back and reflect upon the tough choices we made on the peak of 20 years of devastating, violent conflicts in northern Uganda. As bad as things were; we chose to work for peace and justice for victims.
Pain activated our passion, and we started AYINET during active conflicts. We stood against the desire to pick up guns to avenge our losses, simply because we refused to consider anyone as our enemy.

…“Collectively, our solidarity with war victims’ world-over. I wish to applaud the African Youth Initiative Network- AYINET, for hosting the War Victims Day Football Game. Football has brought us together today. World leaders, ICC State Delegates, War Victims and all people of good will for the noble cause. As we participate, each in our unique ways, we have the opportunity to identify with our brothers and sisters whose lives have regrettably not only been affected, but also defined by war and other cowardly acts of terrorism and crimes against humanity. Together with the United Nations, we in The Republic of Uganda express our solidarity with war victims”
President of Uganda, H.E Y.K Museveni
