There you go again, glorifying your Kony. We will see who turns tail
at the end. By the way, are you now acknowledging Kony's existence?

EASY MOBILITY:

By Grace Matsiko
CHINA yesterday
boosted the UPDF’s offensive against Joseph Kony rebels by
donating 50
brand- new military trucks worth US$1m (about sh1.8b).
The Chinese
ambassador, Li Qiangmin, and a delegation of Chinese military
officers
who flew into the country, presented the Jiefang trucks and their
accessories to the Minister for Defence, Amama Mbabazi, at Bombo UPDF
headquarters.
State minister for defence Ruth Nankabirwa, the army
Chief of Staff, Brig.
Nakibus Lakara, and several other defence
officials witnessed the ceremony.
“We are happy to receive the trucks
at the time we have declared war on lack
of transport. Some of our
units have no vehicles. We have been hiring
vehicles from civilians at
the most inconvenient time. This gift will improve
our reaction
capacity against Kony,” Mbabazi said.
Qiangmin said, “the 50 trucks
are a small gift but carry a big heart. We
hope they will be
beneficial to boost your efforts against rebels in the
northern part
of the country.”
The overall commander of Operation Iron-Fist, the
code-name for the
anti-Kony offensive, Brig. Aronda Nyakairima, was
present.
Qiangmin said the Chinese army had allocated 21 slots for
training the UPDF
personnel, the biggest the country has offered to a
single African country.
He said the 40-year mutual relationship
between Uganda and China had not only
been in the military but also in
the social and economic sectors.
Col. Jiang Lianxiang said, “We shall
fight with you shoulder to shoulder in
safeguarding your country.”
