WOW!!
Now this is something else. What is Hon. Eresu saying?!
Pader gets invaded by Kony and his LRA vampyrer the same way as they have done in Gulu, Kitgum, Lango and Teso. And, Acoli must explain who the LRA are???
The LRA is the terror group which Uganda (The Parliament in which Eresu is a Legislator inklusiv) has molded for the last (17!!!!) years.
Difference is, the curse came dazzling on their steps(ala Al-Qadir and the USA)?
Perhaps Eresu would display better "the truth"as he puts it, if he addressed his ordeal to the Ugandan government to which he himself belongs?
Nice weekend & thanksgiving hangover

>By Henry Mukasa
>ARROW group militia deputy commander, John Eresu, has said he would not apologise for walking to Parliament with a gun.
>
>“They (MPs) wanted me to apologise before I could explain. I said what sort of Parliament is this where everybody orders me to apologise. It became a crowd,” Eresu said.
>
>Eresu who is also Kaberamaido MP stunned Parliament on Wednesday when he claimed that the invaders in Teso are from Pader District. He insisted at a press conference he had called to enumerate the achievements of the Arrow Group at Hotel Equatoria’s Dinner’s choice restaurant on Friday that the rebels come from Pader. He said its up to people from Pader to point out who the rebels are but wouldn’t apologise.
>
>“Apologise for what? They (invaders) came from Pader. Is that not a fact? We must tell the truth if we want to get a solution to the rebellion. Those people must explain who the rebels are,” Eresu said.
>
>When the legislator made the allegation several MPs heckled him and some ordered him to sit down. Prof. Ogenga Latigo (Agago) protested saying the remark was insensitive and Deputy Speaker Rebecca Kadaga ordered him to withdraw it but he walked out of the chambers. He now claims he only left Parliament to drink water.
>
>He also criticised Lango MPs for leading a boycott of Parliament. He said Kony doesn’t pay heed to passive resistance as practised by Mahatma Ghandi. He urged the Lango MPs to strengthen the Arrow Group replica, Amuka (Rhino group) and join combat.
>
>“The only language Kony understands is the gun,” Eresu who was flanked by Arrow Group spokesman, Joseph Ssewava Mukasa said.
>
>Ssewava later handed over a CD-ROM and diskette to Eresu to symbolise the launch of the Arrow Group website, www.arrow.ne.ug which will give regular updates on the operation against LRA rebels.
>
>Eresu said the website will save people from depending on rumours. He said because of the success of the Arrow Group operations, many residents were returning to their homes and all schools would open next term.
