This fellow really never ceases to amaze me. He is the very chup promoting wars from Northern Uganda, to Eastern Uganda, to DRc Congo, to Rwanda, to Sudan....and now Museveni turns around, in a sense of profound duplicity, and claims that wars are making us poor. He mister "president", must we remind you that you created the quote " stupid" war in Northern Uganda...morestill, you saw it fit to continue fighting the "stupid war".
Many have called upon your Military dictatorship to resolve this conflcit in Northern Uganda through dialougue..and did you even pay attention to such calls ...No. You are the strong man who believe in Kurring people..in shooting, bombing using herricopter Gunships. Surely you dictatorship is entirely responsible for the hopless situation the people of Northern and Eastern Uganda currently find themsleves in. MK War making us poor, says Museveni By Badru D. Mulumba May 31, 2004 SHANGHAI â If you live below the poverty line, partly blame the rebellion in the north. President Yoweri Museveni (right), said this while addressing more than 600 participants to the first ever global conference on scaling up poverty reduction in China's largest port city last week, He blamed Uganda's poverty level partly on the 18-year-old conflict. It has displaced an estimated 1.5 million people. âIf it wasn't for some stupid conflict which we have been having in the northern part of the country, we would have reduced poverty even further," Museveni said, after noting that 38 percent of the population, down from 56 percent in 1992, lives below the poverty line. The World Bank defines the poverty line as living on under a dollar a day. Museveniâs remarks came ahead of the final draft of the Shanghai Agenda on reducing poverty that notes that security was key for Ugandaâs poverty reduction. Poverty in Uganda first fell to 35 percent in 1999. Last year, it rose to 38 percent. -------------------------------------------- This service is hosted on the Infocom network http://www.infocom.co.ug
