Extrajudicial Killings & Horrific Barbarity By An "Acholi" Military.
Lucy N. [Witness] “ I was married to Anthony Hannington Nsereko of Masaka. He was killed by liberation soldiers during the 1979 war and left me with eight children. Then in 1982, Obote soldiers murdered five of my children who ranged from 8 to 19 years old. One day these Acholi soldiers came, and one child who was out playing tried to escape. They stopped him and started shouting at us as bandits and shooting at people around. My son Nalumuso was the first victim, then Rebecca and others in sequence. When they shot the fourth child I begged them to kill me before killing the other one. I was holding my grand daughter, Nalumuso’s four months old daughter, her mother had been abducted previously at Kalasa and she has never returned home since. In the meantime, I started pleading with the Acholi soldiers for mercy. They instead stabbed the baby on the cheek. Her name is Susan Tebukasa. Up to now her ear emits pus because of that. Before removing her from my lap another soldier stabbed me in the chest using the bayonet on his gun. Then they killed my fifth child. After that we heard gunshots and then I fell unconscious. I was removed by some people and when I recovered I was somewhere where they had taken me. I asked about my children but they would tell me they are out to fetch water. Until I realized they were dead”. -- _______________________________________________ WestNileNet mailing list WestNileNet@kym.net http://orion.kym.net/mailman/listinfo/westnilenet WestNileNet is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
