Ugandan Statesman Olara Otunnu Enters Race for UN Secretary-General
Ugandan statesman Olara Otunnu has entered the race to become the next United Nations secretary-general, joining six other candidates to succeed Antonio Guterres. Backed by Uganda, Otunnu is in New York to engage with UN delegations despite visa challenges linked to Ebola-related US entry restrictions. A veteran of the UN system, Otunnu previously served as UN under-secretary-general and special representative for children and armed conflict, and was Uganda's UN representative and foreign minister in the 1980s.
