Subject: ugnet_: MUNINI MULERA'S NOTE TO TINGASINGA
Date: Mon, 2 Jun 2003 20:01:58 -0400
Netters Africans and Ugandans
I must encourage every one to read Dr. Mulera's writing in today's Kampala Monitor for it has some very compelling reasons that we must look at and very carefully as Museveni's brutality encompasses our entire nation. It is as well important that we look at the Banyoro/Bakiga problem very carefully for we can easily get a genocide that no body will know about.
Just for the record I must start by appealing to Ugandans in Western Uganda to try their best and solve this problem as amicably as possible.
After reading this very interesting piece, I have found nothing new from the way Museveni operates. It is the usual tactic Museveni has used from day one. The only remaining factor in Banyoro Bakiga equation is the involvement of Uganda People Defence Forces, for they are going to go to Kabaale and give guns to both Bakiga and Banyoro and ask them to protect them selves. Those sporadic killings that we have witnessed so far are going to be escalated as soon as guns are put into the hands of these two groups. Museveni has done it to the Hutu's and Tutsi's of Rwanda, he has done it to the Karimojongs, he has done it to all fighting groups in The Democratic Republic of Congo, right from the old Kabila to now the Hema and Lendu tribes. Now that is a very long history that I can not go through today, but it has been all followed by an enamours deaths that we have never experienced in our Great Lakes Region. All this is thanks to one man Yoweri Museveni.
Again we must go back in Luwero District where it all started. I have stated before that during the war in Luwero, Museveni's use of tribes against each other was very public, and we made it as public as possible only that Ugandans refused to listen. Let me remind all of you that Museveni's war in Luwero was a war fought by Baganda who were commanded by Westerners. And I must define that broad term. It included the Rwandese, and all tribes West of Masaka. But at this time all of them used one language Lunyankole, a language which for some reason can become very accommodative. This brought allot of controversy among Baganda old people. But let us not forget that NRM to start with had no plans what so ever to recruit any Baganda in their ranks, but that is a debate for another day.
For the record I must as well mention that during the fighting between NRM and UNLA, if a Muganda commanded his platoon successfully and they recognised that he was a good fighter, Officers who were Westerners would undermine him and kill him some how. Many Baganda fighters did not survive that war not because they were killed by the then Government forces but because they were killed by high ranking officers in NRM for fear that a Muganda good fighter will become powerful later in the journey to kampala. The results of this very offensive habit became very clear at the end of the war, when UPDF had very many Baganda men/women but with very many Westerners as officers. In fact that is why you see the Kagame's the Kaziini's and so on today, they were not promoted for they were good soldiers it was solely based on their tribes.
Although these complaints were made public over and over, Westerners failed to understand that Museveni and the Movement were actually Using them. A good example is the attack on Rwanda which NRM used to kill very prominent Rwandese who were viewed as potential leaders, in fact it was that murdering of those officers which resulted into Paul Kagame's becoming a leader of RPF. Our conscious must lead us to ask a very simple question, what happened to original leader/s of RPF?
When the war started in Northern Uganda, it was a war between Northerners and Southerners, we as society did not oppose it, for we deluded our selves that Museveni was actually tellin g us the truth that Northerners are biological substances. Very many of them have lost and are continuing to loose their lives. When The Hutu's and Tutsi's of Rwanda slaughtered them selves, we again bought Museveni's story, many lives were lost. Today it is the Hema and Lendu's in Congo, just for record Museveni and kagame have at a certain point armed both of these groups. Again we kept quite. When prisoners of war from Congo were ferried to Kanungu and killed over night, we bought the story of Uganda has a cult lead by Kibweetere.
Is Kabaale the next genocide district? I do not know but this I will say, the situation lacks only one ingredient, UPDF supplying guns to the citizenry to protect its self. And that is why I am very slow to ask Uganda Government to get involved into this very sad affair.For I have seen what happens when it gets involved. I think Bakiga and Banyoro are very serious people with a long history of being good people I would ask for a local intervention only.
It is very important for all of us to understand how Museveni works, this is a man who has been in our midst for now almost 20 plus years. Those of us who knew him before his coming to power, made all these revelations about this man. Although we were called people who are anti Movement, but our words have been full filled to the dotted i. And Museveni is a very crafty man that no body should do any deal with. He is a killer and he must get out of Great Lakes. And if he can build this wage between Banyoro and Bakiga, trust me he is going to put your tribe into chaos as well it is only when.
Only if we had listened to the numerous calls of advise on Museveni we would may be not have gone through this exercise. In fact there is a school of thought out there that actually UNLF arrested Museveni in Bweyogerere, had he been put in Luzira that day, may be we would not have gone through this road. In fact that school of thought brings the blame to president Obote who instructed an immediate release of Yoweri Museveni. It is an instruction which has turned to be a very expensive one.
I must end by appealing to every one out there to look on the sequences of the developments of Bakiga and Banyoro, and I am as well encouraging you to read Dr Mulera's column in today's monitor a copy of which I have attached. Great Lakes is in huge trouble, but let us know that it has been in trouble from the day Museveni came to the plat form. And when we praise Museveni all along, and we wait untill when he spills the beans in our own villages, it is not only hypocritical but irresponsible. When Mulindwa fights for Northern Uganda and he becomes labelled a non Muganda but a Northerner, he is actually not fighting for Northern Uganda, he is fighting for Banyoro and Bakiga, for Mulindwa knows that the killing machine in Great Lakes has no boundaries. It is very sad for I have been vindicated this way.
Good Morning all
