Thanks for you observation!  For the 1st or 2nd time, I am agreeing with you 100% on this one.
 
These Baganda soldiers are held at gun point through the gun-rule of Kaguta and his NRM.  It is like I've said; it is either you kill or get killed!  The same applies to other Ugandans with the exception of Nyankores.  However, there are circumstances were some Baganda soldiers (and other Ugandans) are totally ignorant and they are simply "sleeping" while things are happening around them.  Hence, the saying Abaganda tuli mukwebaka nga katonga ejjula!

Again you are right, many sons and daughters of Buganda (and other Ugandans) have vanished and they are continuing to vanish in Northern Uganda.  Their relatives will never know because Museveni hides that information.  I do have a few former-UPDF friends and they can tell the whole story real good.  You can sit and listen the whole day!  They had to run for their lives when the quit the UPDF.  A Muganda to leave the UPDF, it's a matter of Life or Death!  That's how much of a killer Mu7 is.

Such brutal actions are not only committed in Northern Uganda, but in DR. Congo, and Sudan.  My former-UPDF friends were sent to the North, DR.Congo, and Sudan.  Thanks be to Allah, they survived because many of their mates never made it.

These guys even told me that they went to the North searching for "Kony/rebels" and all the time they spent there, they NEVER saw a single "rebel".  They were instructed by force (it's either kill or get killed) by Banyankore at the top/leaders to go village to village, "searching" for rebels.  This "searching" was to be carried out in the most gruesome, brutal, way I've ever heard.  I was shocked!  The UPDF goes village to village shooting civilians in their huts.  Whoever comes out of the hut is shot on spot because they are "rebels"!  Including, babies, children, women, the youth, the old, men.  Anyone they come accross in an operation is termed a rebel, when they know that these people have no guns on them, and that they are civilians.

Many of these Baganda soldiers (and other Ugandans too) do not understand a single word native Northerners say, for they don't understand Acholi.  They report of usual misunderstandings between the UPDF and the civilians.  Some of these people are rural people who never went to school, how does one expect them to communicate with the UPDF in English.  Besides, even a huge number in the UPDF does not speak English, for Allah's seek they never went to school! 
 
The good thing is that my former-UPDF friends were not sleeping all that time.  They could not stand killing innocent civilians and killing "undescplined" fellow solders any more.  These guys are tough but even their military training could not prepare them for the nightmares they had.  They were planning a way of escaping without putting their lives in danger.  They finally escaped and fled to far places where they would not be expected to be.  These men had to abandon their families because they feared that their families could easily be intimidated into giving the army information about their whereabouts.  It was a Life or Death situation. 
 
And do you know who introduced Gun-Rule to Uganda??  He is none other than Obote.  He used to ask his political opponents were their generals are!  But you know what??  The Federal States of Uganda can not let this happen to their men and women.  There is a sense of protection and empowerment involved.  I don't think the federal states of Acholi, Lango, Teso, Buganda can sit down and allow this happen.

I think that you need to cut down on your fantasies.  Bwanika's article is true to the events taking place in Uganda.  These people know exactly what they are talking about.  What they are saying is not new to me, for I've known it for quite some time.
 
Museveni and his top army officials have set up events to kill Baganda army men and some other tribes in the past, present, and future.  I think you owe to wake up and smell what's going on.

Zakoomu:

Why then do the Buganda allow themselves to be used by Kaguta and the NRM  to fight  wars in which the Buganda soldiers  are targeted for total and complete  annihilation? Is it more of a sense to total  ignorance  on the part of the  Buganda soldiers so much so that  they  are simply "sleeping"  while things are happening around them?

From what I hear, many sons and daughter of Buganda (and other Ugandans) have simply vanished in Northern Uganda. Many  of their relatives,  simply are unaware that their sons and daughter  have perished.  Museveni  hides this vital information from the relatives.

Let this war ..end.. the  people of Uganda are going to be a  great shock.... Once they realize that their sons and daughters once deployed to  fight "kony" , are actually not coming back!

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."
