Comrades and true friends of Uganda.
In addition to what a fore-netter has commented on there is more I don't
understand in the said statement by the "Ssebakazi". What I don't understand
is her call for an "understanding and reconciliation". How can reconciliation
come into mention late alone play when the very people are stil under the
wheels of mayhem by the same victimizers and alies? I could list the listless
flows to which this kind of call leaves in one's postures, but I belief this
doesn't merit such effot on my part let alone having even commented
on it. j.O

>There are some very interesting selection of words, that some
times amaze me "Their pain is our pain, their suffering is our suffering
because we are all the same people", So what has been the illusion of
Nabagereka all along, that we as Ugandans are not part of the suffering of
Ugandans in the North? Why did she find it important to come out with such a
statement and that boldly? Was it important to be stressed out and now? If the
war was in Luwero or Buddu, would Nabagereka address the meeting with the same
words, "We are the same people"? It is very terrible if people we are supposed
to look at for leadership, breed this kind of intolerance. For that kind of
wording was totally uncalled for.
>Here is another one
>"I praise God the Almighty for this magnanimous spirit of
conciliation and goodwill from the Kingdom of Buganda. How I wish that more
and more leaders followed the lead taken by the Nnabagereka and came out
boldly to champion tolerance, peace and reconciliation so badly needed in
Uganda! I am grateful to witness this significant development in our country."

>But I thought all along Netters have been stating in these
forums that Buganda is part of Uganda and part of the concern on the
sufferings in Northern Uganda, if that were true, why is the reporter calling
it now a conciliatory and a good will from the kingdom of Buganda? And there
are some other very interesting terms, like "To Champion tolerance peace and
reconciliation so badly needed in Uganda" What are we talking about here,
Rwanda? Or this is the situation we have in our own very little country, which
is not even a third of Ontario?
>
>That is the kind of polarisation Ugandans have created in our
country, the question remains, is Nabakyaala's coming out of the closet at
this evening hour, enough to nurse the pains in the hearts of Ugandans? It
remains to be seen but trust me this problem is much larger than waking up at
the 12th hour of the suffering of the people in Northern Uganda. Those are the
facts and you can take them or leave them.

> Allow me to express my heartfelt and deep appreciation for the
message of the Nnabagereka, Sylvia Nagginda, aired on WBS TV and also
published in your esteemed paper.
> I watched and heard the Nnabagereka's voice full of emotion
and empathy for the suffering people of northern Uganda, especially the
children. I sincerely thank her and the Kingdom of Buganda for this courageous
act of compassion. That this came from the Kingdom of Buganda is all the more
significant given the socio-political history of Uganda with regard to the
unfortunate North-South divide.
> Through her special and personal appeal, the Nnabagereka has
shown the true greatness of Buganda Kingdom that transcends political and
cultural limitations by demonstrating the need for mutual understanding and
reconciliation. What the Nnabagereka said of the suffering people of northern
Uganda, "...Their pain is our pain, their suffering is our suffering because
we are all the same people", deeply resonates against the national
indifference that characterised the suffering of northern Uganda for a long
time.
> I praise God the Almighty for this magnanimous spirit of
conciliation and goodwill from the Kingdom of Buganda. How I wish that more
and more leaders followed the lead taken by the Nnabagereka and came out
boldly to champion tolerance, peace and reconciliation so badly needed in
Uganda! I am grateful to witness this significant development in our country.
> I commend the Christian Children's Fund - Uganda, on whose
behalf the Nnabagereka made the appeal, for the good work they are doing for
vulnerable children in Uganda. I urge Ugandans to respond generously to the
emergency appeal for the war traumatised children of northern Uganda. I want
also to thank the media for being one of the best allies of the suffering
people of northern Uganda by highlighting our plight.
> We owe much of the unprecedented national and international
focus on northern Uganda now - after a decade of marginalisation - to the
media.
