Ochan
Greetings to all,
And to Mukulu Kironde I purposely ask: Are you fine? not as a formality, but as a greeting question that seeks to know that all is and was well when you published the ten point list!
You write, "Former Acholi soldiers fled to the north to be re-integrated in the Acholi society, but because of the difficulties of re-integration, they soon raped and plundered the local population." I would be of great importance if you could tell us what the "difficulties of re-integration" were, and why couldn't the Acholis (my god) settle at home. Gen. Saleh recently revealed some of the causes of the northern war. I fortunately, though actually unfortunately happened to be in Namukora on 5th October 1986, when a special contingent of NRA soldiers arrived and arrested all former FEDEMU and retired UNLA officers in the area. Loaded them in trailer containers and shipped them to Mbuya; you know the rest of the story. If there is any reason why the war in the north started it was as a result of the activities of this day.
I can understand the way you feel about UPC, for I suffered at the hands of some of its operatives in ways I hate to recall. However I find it reprehensible that some one who is seeking the highest office of the land has chosen to view, Obote, UPC, LRA and "the Acholi" as one!
Blanket condemnation of ethnic groups or political organizations, Yes, including UPC is wrong. If some elements within UPC are sponsoring LRA, have it know to the world as such.
The other issues you bring up again in your ten-point programme is your continued well-orchestrated campaign against the political opposition in Uganda. And here I put it to you that with malice aforethought and ingrained hate you have found it in your faculties to link DP and LRA. (Wano ndabawo ettima, effutwa, effubitizi, obukyayi n'enge oba n'ensaalwa [emapndiika])
It is also unbecoming of you to suggest that the Reform Agenda has been making overtures to Kony. Unless you are one of the contact persons, how are you privy to this information? Or you have just swallowed you master, M7's lies?
You highlight the term that you were just thinking, with the danger of sounding uncivilized I would reluctantly say that, if this is the way you perform when thinking, you better stop thinking and just hallucinate.
I sincerely believed that your time at this very educating board had shade some light in your mind and divorced you from "tribal" bias. But alas! I was wrong.
May the lord heal your soul?
