Mr. Matek,
My reference was to Mr. Ibingira -- a formar Secretary General, Legal Advisor, Minister of Justice, Minister of State of the UPC until he was unceremoniously arrested and detained without trial for about 5 years by your saint, Obote -- was merely to point to an insider's view as to how Obote used coersion and unleashed brutality on Uganda's populace using the police, army and other security forces.
Mr. Ibingira gives a very detailed account of just how Obote's insatiable hunger for power -- as illustrated by his favorite quote: it is better to lead in hell than to serve in heaven -- threw Uganda into the chaos that is costing lives in Uganda today, including your home area in Northern Uganda. (btw: do you the original author of that quote?)
If you have another version of events, by all means let us hear it, assuming you have no aversion to the plain truth. If you have any bones to pick, do it with Mr. Ibingira's book. I did not write it for him: I merely reported what one UPC senior insider say UPC works.
Can you refute the statement I made that: "Lets not forget that beating, harrassing, imprisoning and even killing political opponents, real or imagined, were introduced to independent Uganda by one Milton Obote and his party, the UPC -- as was the involving of security forces (police &army) in politics, as well as politicizing the civil service."?

Like in a chess game, soon Kaguta will have no choice..but to make the only single move, he must make... and then his ASS WILL BE UP!!! matek "The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the pe ople from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the state." - Dr. Joseph M. Goebbels - Hitler's propaganda minister
