We have allot of stress on our population especially those in exile. But we have even the Kibuuka's who swear on the bible that Federalism in Uganda is not going to happen so it is better they drop it and go to join NRM government so that they can fight it from the inside. I have been in this struggle a very long time, it is more than 19 years now, but I prefer to make a statement that I will back up tomorrow, and that statement might as well be wrong. But I will not join NRM or any dying political party in this life time. For the lives of Ugandans involved in this gamble mean more to me than personal gains.

[Ugnet] Power-Greedy African Presidents on Fire
TZ law professor attacks power-greedy presidents SOLOMON MUYITA & HAFSAH NABAYUNGA ENTEBBE A VISITING Tanzanian law professor has said African presidents who cling on to power are the cause of the endless conflicts in their countries. Prof Chris Peter Maina said most leaders on the African continent could not imagine themselves being anywhere else than the State House. Absence of salutes, ever bowing servants and clapping citizens is said to lead to depression, blood pressure and heart attacks to some leaders, Maina of the University of Dar Es Salaam said. Maina, also an executive in Kituo Cha Katiba, an East African Centre for Constitutional Development, was speaking during a three-day annual conference of the Association of Law Reform Agencies of Eastern and Southern Africa in Entebbe yestrday. The drew participants from the law reform commissions of Uganda, Britain, South Africa, Swaziland, Namibia, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania and Kenya. Maina said presidential term limits are an important principle to be respected for proper constitutionalism in Africa. Recently, Uganda removed the two-term limits on the presidency, which gives President Yoweri Museveni a chance to run for the third term in 2006. Museveni, who took over power through guerilla warfare in 1986, will make 20 years in office in five months time.Late July, a Tanzanian MP, Mr Hamad Rashid Mohamed, kicked off criticism of Uganda's move to change its Constitution to remove term limits, a move that could allow President Museveni stay in office for life. He said the decision defeats basic principles of good governance and endangers the political future of Uganda. He said this would in turn jeopardise efforts to integrate East Africa. Tanzanian President, Mr Banjamin Mkapa recently visited Uganda to bid farewell to MPs because he is leaving power at the end of his two terms in office. Mkapa also criticised leaders' failure to arrange for their succession. Maina said the majority of the presidents who stick to power often come to power very innocently with bags of promises of putting the country in order and then retiring to his village, but power corrupts them.(Was this not Museveni's promises???.He now wants to retire to his grave instead of to his farm in Rwakitura and talk with his cows) We are reminded that absolute power corrupts absolutely! It is worse where such leaders are surrounded by sycophants who sing nothing but his praises day and night and blind his vision completely, he said. Prof. Joseph Kakooza, who chairs the Uganda Law Reform Commission, said the conference provided an opportunity for the law reform agencies to share experience in law reform. He said they would explore opportunities for using different legal systems and concepts. Can't remember an address in your address book?

[Ugnet] WHAT DID WE FAIL TO DO?
Makeshift morgue works to identify Katrina's dead By Jim Loney ST. GABRIEL, Louisiana (Reuters) - In a long, low, nondescript warehouse in a Louisiana town that used to be a leper colony, Hurricane Katrina's victims will be identified and returned to their families. A convoy of refrigerated trucks, seven in all, pulled up alongside the makeshift morgue early on Monday. The bodies will be stored inside. In the warehouse, the location of which authorities are trying to keep quiet to lend some dignity to the grim task of collecting and processing perhaps thousands of corpses, concrete floors are covered with plastic sheets to contain fluids that could pose a biohazard threat. Rows of stainless steel gurneys await the first bodies. Processing is expected to start within 24 hours and the U.S. Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team (DMORT) has drawn up a plan to handle in excess of 5,000 corpses. "Families need to know what happened to the people they lose," said Dr. David Senn, a forensic dentist from San Antonio, Texas, who helped identify victims of the September 11 attack on New York and gathered remains after the space shuttle Columbia disaster in 2003. DMORT teams, comprised of pathologists, coroners, forensic anthropologists and experts in fingerprinting, DNA and dental identification, will be able to process up to 140 bodies a day. When they enter the cavernous building, the bodies, many of which have been submerged in the toxic swamp that inundated New Orleans, will be decontaminated using a chlorine solution. They will be taken through regimented stages that include examination by a forensic pathologist, panoramic X-rays, fingerprinting and dental exams. DNA will be extracted from bone. "These are my patients. They are not just bodies," said Dr. Corinne Stern, a medical examiner from El Paso, Texas who said the goal of the DMORT team is to "reunite families and to answer questions for the families." Even for those accustomed to disaster, aspects of the job can be difficult. "I don't like identifying children," Senn said. "When I think about St. Bernard Parish where families were scrambling into attics to escape the water, I can visualize that there were children in that group. It's not the best part of the job." The morgue, which will see a steady stream of bodies in coming days as U.S. and state authorities ramp up the collection of corpses from the flooded streets and homes of New Orleans, was located in a place that was "partly founded on tragic circumstances," said its mayor, George Grace. St. Gabriel, a town of 6,000 on the east bank of the Mississippi River about 70 miles from New Orleans, was a leper colony in 1921 and hosts a leper facility to this day. Grace welcomed the chance to help deal with the Katrina disaster. "We want to do it with dignity and respect," he said. Local officials assured residents the biohazards would be contained. Dr. Louis Cataldie, Louisiana's emergency medical services director, said there had been no concerted effort to collect corpses in the week since Katrina struck as rescuers focused on survivors. But the task was to begin in earnest within hours. "Ideally, all hurricane victims will be brought into this facility," he said. "If worse comes to worst, they can process 130 to 140 individuals per 24-hour period here." Members of the unit responsible for decontaminating the corpses wore black T-shirts with a skull and crossbones on the back. Playing on the term "first responders," which refers to emergency medical units and fire crews, the words "last responders" were splashed across the shirts. "The job they're doing, you've got to have some sense of humor," an information officer for the unit said.

[Ugnet] THE CRISIS OF UNAA CONTINUES
Ugandans in the Diaspora As people who supported the launching of UNAA, here we are today with some very good news. The NRM Branch was launched in Minneapolis. You know so much nonsense has been going on with people posting and calling us useless for we do not know what we are talking about. I took the time to exchange notes with Ssenoga and he still failed to get it. For since we as Ugandans in Diaspora have been here, since we opposed Dr Muniini Mulera's taking UNNAA to Uganda, we have maintained one belief that will never change. We want an organization to help Ugandans who are forced to be out of Uganda. The refugees. The homeless. Those who can not say Ffe Kasita Munange twebaka. Those are the Ugandans we started that organization for. Not the Mulera's who use it to get positions from Uganda government, for we know that they can take the UNAA to NRM but if they fail to get the appointments they can flip and support Kiiza Besigye. That is the crux of the matter. For we know that Uganda as a nation is totally fucked up and we are here to stay. So the least we can do for our children is to start an organization that can prepare them to remember what Uganda was. That is why UNAA is funded by Federal Provincial city and municipal governments and not by NRM. And as long as we have the Mulera types, the Kabwegyeres will use this organization and our kids will be the victims. Ugandans wake up and smell the coffee. Em Toronto Ladies and Gentlemen NRM opened a branch in Minneapolis.

Our reporter Kisuule Magala who is covering the convention says the branch has been opened by Local Government Minister Tarsis Kabwegyere. At the same convention American Senator Corman urged African leaders to learn to leave power when their terms expire. Meanwhile the NRMO America branch have asked President Museveni to be their candidate in next years presidential elections. At their meeting of Ugandans in North America the movement supporters say President Museveni should come back because he is still a strong visionary.

"It is going to be about as ugly of a scene as I think you can imagine," the nation's homeland security chief warned. As authorities struggled to keep order, police shot eight people, killing five or six, after gunmen opened fire on a group of contractors traveling across a bridge on their way to make repairs, authorities said. Air and boat crews searched flooded neighborhoods for survivors, and federal officials urged those still left in New Orleans to leave for their own safety. To expedite the rescues, the Coast Guard requested through the media that anyone stranded hang out brightly colored or white linens or something else to draw attention. But with the electricity out though much of the city, it was not known if the message was being received. With large-scale evacuations completed at the Superdome and Convention Center, the death toll was not known. But bodies were everywhere: floating in canals, slumped in wheelchairs, abandoned on highways and medians and hidden in attics. "I think it's evident it's in the thousands," Health and Human Services Secretary Michael Leavitt said Sunday on CNN, echoing predictions by city and state officials last week. The U.S. Public Health Service said one morgue alone, at a St. Gabriel prison, expected 1,000 to 2,000 bodies. In the first official count in the New Orleans area, Louisiana emergency medical director Louis Cataldie said authorities had verified 59 deaths 10 of them at the Superdome. "We need to prepare the country for what's coming," Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said on "Fox News Sunday." "We are going to uncover people who died, maybe hiding in houses, got caught by the flood. ... It is going to be about as ugly of a scene as I think you can imagine." Chertoff said rescuers have encountered a number of people who said they did not want to evacuate. "That is not a reasonable alternative," he said. "We are not going to be able to have people sitting in houses in the city of New Orleans for weeks and months while we de-water and clean this city. ... The flooded places, when they're de-watered, are not going to be sanitary." In Sunday's bridge confrontation, 14 contractors on their way to help plug the breach in the 17th Street Canal were traveling across the Danziger Bridge under police escort when they came under fire, said John Hall, a spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers. Police shot at eight people carrying guns, killing five or six, Deputy Police Chief W.J. Riley said. None of the contractors was injured, authorities said. Meanwhile, a civilian helicopter crashed Sunday evening near the bridge. The two people on board escaped with only cuts and scrapes, according to Mark Smith of the state office of emergency preparedness. In addition to the lawlessness, civilian deaths and uncertainty about their families, New Orleans' police have had to deal with suicides in their ranks. Two officers took their lives, including the department spokesman, Paul Accardo, who died Saturday, according to Riley. Both

As authorities struggled to keep order, police shot eight people, killing five or six, after gunmen opened fire on a group of contractors traveling across a bridge on their way to make repairs, authorities said.Air and boat crews searched flooded neighborhoods for survivors, and federal officials urged those still left in New Orleans to leave for their own safety. To expedite the rescues, the Coast Guard requested through the media that anyone stranded hang out brightly colored or white linens or something else to draw attention. But with the electricity out though much of the city, it was not known if the message was being received. With large-scale evacuations completed at the Superdome and Convention Center, the death toll was not known. But bodies were everywhere: floating in canals, slumped in wheelchairs, abandoned on highways and medians and hidden in attics. "I think it's evident it's in the thousands," Health and Human Services Secretary Michael Leavitt said Sunday on CNN, echoing predictions by city and state officials last week. The U.S. Public Health Service said one morgue alone, at a St. Gabriel prison, expected 1,000 to 2,000 bodies. In the first official count in the New Orleans area, Louisiana emergency medical director Louis Cataldie said authorities had verified 59 deaths 10 of them at the Superdome. "We need to prepare the country for what's coming," Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said on "Fox News Sunday." "We are going to uncover people who died, maybe hiding in houses, got caught by the flood. ... It is going to be about as ugly of a scene as I think you can imagine." Chertoff said rescuers have encountered a number of people who said they did not want to evacuate. "That is not a reasonable alternative," he said. "We are not going to be able to have people sitting in houses in the city of New Orleans for weeks and months while we de-water and clean this city. ... The flooded places, when they're de-watered, are not going to be sanitary." In Sunday's bridge confrontation, 14 contractors on their way to help plug the breach in the 17th Street Canal were traveling across the Danziger Bridge under police escort when they came under fire, said John Hall, a spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers. Police shot at eight people carrying guns, killing five or six, Deputy Police Chief W.J. Riley said. None of the contractors was injured, authorities said. Meanwhile, a civilian helicopter crashed Sunday evening near the bridge. The two people on board escaped with only cuts and scrapes, according to Mark Smith of the state office of emergency preparedness. In addition to the lawlessness, civilian deaths and uncertainty about their families, New Orleans' police have had to deal with suicides in their ranks. Two officers took their lives, including the department spokesman, Paul Accardo, who died Saturday, according to Riley. Both shot themselves in the head, he said. "I've got some firefighters and police officers that have been pretty much traumatized," Mayor Ray Nagin said. "And we've already had a couple of suicides, so I am cycling them out as we speak. ... They need physical and psychological evaluations." The strain was apparent in other ways. Aaron Broussard, president of Jefferson Parish, dropped his head and cried on NBC's "Meet the Press." "The guy who runs this building I'm in, emergency management, he's responsible for everything. His mother was trapped in St. Bernard nursing home, and every day she called him and said, `Are you coming, son? Is somebody coming?' And he said, `And yeah, Momma, somebody's coming to get you. Somebody's coming to get you on Tuesday. Somebody's coming to get you on Wednesday. Somebody's coming to get you Thursday. Somebody's coming to get you on Friday' and she drowned Friday night. She drowned on Friday night," Broussard said. "Nobody's coming to get her, nobody's coming to get her. The secretary's promise, everybody's promise. They've had press conferences I'm sick of the press conferences. For God's sakes, shut up and send us somebody." Hundreds of thousands of people already have been evacuated, seeking safety in Texas, Tennessee and other states. The first group of refugees who will take shelter in Arizona arrived Sunday i
[Ugnet] UN mediates between Ugandan gov't, Congo-based rebels
UN mediates between Ugandan gov't, Congo-based rebels The United Nations Observer Mission in Congo (MONUC) is mediating between the Ugandan government and Uganda's rebel groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), reported local media on Sunday. A joint meeting of Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) and National Army for the Liberation of Uganda (NALU) leaders, Ugandan government and UN officials is scheduled to discuss the issue of amnesty soon, a report recently presented to the UN Security Council by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan was quoted as saying. MONUC will serve as moderators in the meeting between the Ugandan government and two Uganda's rebel groups in DRC. The meeting will also discuss the support of the rebels for their combatants to participate in the disarmament, demobilization, repatriation, reintegration and rehabilitation program, according to the report. The report said, "the ADF and NALU personnel have expressed willingness to be voluntarily repatriated to Uganda if they are given amnesty." The Ugandan government and the Congolese government have decided to open an office of the Uganda Amnesty Commission in Beni, northeastern DRC, after a meeting between UN officials and ADF rebels.

In a press statement, Sudanese Foreign Minister Mustafa Osman Ismail termed the southern Sudan-based LRA as "a terrorist group which would harm Sudan as well as Uganda." "Contacts are underway between Sudan and Uganda at the level of the presidency and Ministry of Defence to banish any existence of the LRA inside the Sudanese lands," Mustafa said. LRA rebels have killed over tens of thousands of civilians and displaced over 1.4 million people in their 19-year rebellion in northern Uganda. Kampala and Khartoum signed an agreement in 2002 to allow the Ugandan government troops to launch cross-border operations against the LRA, which has several bases in southern Sudan. In the statement, the top Sudanese diplomat pointed out that after the signature of a comprehensive peace agreement between the Sudanese government and SPLM in January, the southern government is responsible for the souths security. The government of Khartoum, however, has taken the responsibility of protecting Sudans borders and defending the national security including the south, he added. http://www.sudantribune.com/article.php3?id_article=11474 ``When in the course of human development, existing institutions prove inadequate to the needs of man, when they serve merely to enslave, rob and oppress mankind, the people have the eternal right to rebel against, and overthrow, these institutions.''

[Ugnet] Mucebeni and "kony"
"Kony has now fled with 80 people to north of Torit- Juba Road, beyond the red line. Dominic Ongwen, a rebel commander is the one loitering in northern Uganda and terrorising people in Pader district. I will ask Gen. Bashir that we launch a combined operation with Sudanese army, the SPLA against the LRA," the sources quoted Museveni as saying. According to Yosweri Mucebeni's logic, "kony's remainding rebels,..only 80 people can only be defeated by a combined force of SPLA, SUDAN ARMY and UPDF who together make up ..well over 100,000 men under arms.. Now you do not have to be that smart to figure out that Mucebeni is simply engaged in NRM propaganda..either that or, if we are to believe Kaguta that Kony has 80 rebels,then we must also believe that the UPDF, given it's massive weapons, cannot defeat a mere rebel force of 80 people Matek Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.___ Ugandanet mailing list Ugandanet@kym.net http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/ugandanet % UGANDANET is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/
[Ugnet] Wakaliga Market a National Health & Security Risk
Wakaliga Market a National Health & Security Risk Contrary to the laws governing Kampala city and market localisation, the so-called veterans established a market at a former garbage dump at Wakiliga, on a territory not gazetted for a market. (Once before it was turned into a garbage dump) All in direct infringement on urban laws, threatening public health and the security of city dwellers! Past history of Wakaliga, will automatically entail an environmental assessment impact report is in place plus a health report from Kampala City Council health department. KCC laws in return, will scrutinise the suitability of establishing an exclusively fresh food market on that territory, where a site map and structure plans will then be approved. The veterans and their supportive state agents did none! Wakaliga was once a dumping place of all sorts of garbage, Kampala generated. These included animal cadaver and medical waste (placentas, used syringes and dead foetuses) direct from surrounding medical institutions. Twenty years on, is not enough for human habitation of Wakaliga and its surroundings. Indeed if this countrys politician were really concerned for public health and welfare, it would have cleaned this place first by removing all soils from Wakaliga that was generated and cleaned Wakaliga all water sources before an settlements are located on the territory. An elected mayor of Kampala, a top authority on urban issues by virtual of his position, was threatened with violence in daylight, captured by radio and television stations. The white hall legal department, Uganda parliament, Uganda police and the inspector general of government could do nothing! Government an announced policy of, one law, two citizens prevailed and the market in two days was standing! In an amazing indifference, the market is under the National Army logo and cant understand how national institution logos, could be used for an illegal public market within a civilian community. Even Idi Amin couldnt do such a thing in Kisenyi. Repeated warnings from Kampala city council that the market is illegal has fallen on deaf ears threats of violence and lawlessness rules! Top public officials originating southwest, west and northwest use Wakaliga road but an ugly scene on the road does not appeal to their urban sensibilities. The market as it is, located in an urban region is a score in the eye, with primitive structures lack of water and toilet facilities. The market is in a wetland implying all nature water sources; will further be polluted by garbage generated from there. Evidence can really be seen from the dark golden like colour water in Mayanja River typifying the increase in nutrient levels in the water. Who is the law in this country?
