[Ugnet] Noc Stop deluding your self

Mon, 13 Mar 2006 14:11:31 -0800

Noc Ludume:
 
The dice, so to say  , was loaded in the "game" ( sorry elections) right from the Beginning .  There was no way what so ever , repeat no way what so ever, that  any party  was going to play Museveni's "game" and win!!
 
To play any game, as you are very much aware, the rules of the game must be spelt out clearly and  everybody must abide by the said  rules.
 
That stated,  in this past so called Uganda  elections, the so called Electoral Commission was loaded with Yoweri Museveni's sycophants from top to bottom.
Accordingly, the electrol commission always looked the other side when the NRM/O was violating election rules and regulations.
 
Indeed the most outrageous occurance was the fact that the so called electral  Commission with clear intent and purpose striked out the names of so many registered voters. The claim is that as many as 600,000 voters were striked out.
 This in and of it's self is  election stealing of the highest order. 
 
Secondly, the NRM/O Military dictatorship adorpted  voter intimidations tactics against citizens in what the NRM consider to be opposition  strongholds.  
 
 We all for instance remember an incident where by a UPDF Army truck, in an act which can only be described as  nake display of intimmidation tactic,almost rammed UPDF army truck into  a crowd of UPC sympathiser  gather to listen to Mama Miria obote's campaign speach.
 
Third , even you would agree that the NRM/O deployed numerous  tactics of using money  to buy votes in many places. We in the UPC cannot compete against that kind of  unconstitutional backhanded method  of trying to ga in state power.
 
Indeed in many constituencies our parliamentary candidates lacked even  funding to put petrol in their automobiles.  Naturally you do not expect such candidates  to win any parliamentary seat in any constituencies, do you? That a few UPC candiates for parliamentary seat were elected is due to nothing other then lack.
 
No I reject the so called NRM elections. I will reject it today tomorrow and the day after. This NRM/O elections was nothing other then a mockory of the democratic process  in Uganda full stop..
 
I and many other Ugandans believe that a genuine elections whose result can be respected by all the people of Uganda can only take place in an enviroment free from Yoweri Museven's Dictatorships. !

Matek, stop being a slick. Face it like a politician. In those days when our elders managed the affairs of the UPC, they would face it straight-faced and shoulder high. Babbling elusively won't help. Tell us why the UPC lost the election. Tell us why politicians like you who manages external Bureau did not go home to manage the ground work.

I do not know about intimidation by President Musseveni, if it were true, then why don't you initiate a legal process? Surely, it is equally bad if President Musseveni did intimidate voters. However, the horror that frustrated election climate in Acoli was intimidation by LRA rebels and their "Boda-boda" (spl. border-border!?!) messengers.

Why so impulsive? Now it is time for Bwessigy e & co to engage in constructive opposition. Hopefully, we may get a glimpse of his policy or ideology in that process.

Perhaps it is high time you too, give the UPC party back to the PEOPLE.

"The people of Lango seem committed to voting Kizza Besigye, not Miria Obote, because they see competency in Besigye. They see that they need Besigye to get rid of President Museveni who has through his administration caused the suffering of people and failed to address the disaste r situation in northern Uganda". Cecilia Ogwal - was Dr Besigye used by the Langi, Acholis and the rest of UPC stalwarts as a political condom? How long will the Doctor wake and smell the rubber, the condom is rudely discarded by the user.

Some of us believed and still believe that the UPC could not possible participate and win in an NRM conducted election.

We were very much aware that the NRM was going to play Election tricks which include among others bribary oof voters, intimmidation of the mass by Yoweri Museveni's Army....e.t.c

Since you are too stupid to decipher the hidden facts , one of the reasons as t o why the UPC participated in Yoweri Museveni's elections, is that as UPC we can identify a) UPC leaders who are still with us b) expose the NRM for what it is ..i.e ( for your stupid brain) a Military dictatorship .

We have achieve both objectives!!!

Well, you lost. You were not smart enough to convince the people. From a strong party to mere 6 mandate (beaten even by the DP).
Man the way I enjoy your outburst. When ever some one reacts to my arument the way you do, I fell satisfied. I know then that I got my superior point through. People like you behave like that. No wonder the results were like that.
My be you should start making substantial arguments instead of merely push thr ough others articles.

One horizon that is paradox-free and therefore generally not receptor of Speculation Emitters is the UP C's total eruption. That eclipse is self-explanatory. One needed not be drunk to anticipate the impact of deviation from "OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE and FOR THE PEOPLE".

Once more for the ten time (again, more over!!) our apprehension proves superiority over peripheral gapers.

Indeed, the UPC's dilemma / disarray is well exhibited in the acts of it's "Obal-UPC" (Confusing Agents).

Instead of sitting down and critically analysing the quake and it's impact, some are here hollering like nothing wrong has happened: like the people of Uganda have not rejected the party's policy. Hopefully, some of those former PPC's and UPC branch offices (like UPC Stockholm), now know we were very sober in our predicament. We were presenting situations as they were without distortion, mystification or malicious manipulation: The superiority of not being prejudiced.

Election rigged or not, the UPC's catastrophe is clear!

My great grand father always did say: "Politics is always and at all times ambivalent". Where upon my great grand mothers countered: "All is relative".

These days of inflation of speculations (triggered by the aval anche like catastrophe election results) those phenomena are more concrete than ever.

The disaster political scenario in Acoli (probably in most parts of Northern and Eastern Uganda) epitomizes the apprehension.

Once again, we are bound for a very fragile mandate period with very loose constellations. AND, the situation is not exactly new!

Most of the MPs retained their s eats (this time around on the FDC platform!!!) while Presidential appointees lost.

A deduction from the above is that the Acoli VOTED FOR "NO CHANGE". The irony seems paradoxical, is it not? Ponder deeper!

The fact that the same MPs retained their seats even on another party's ticket and without account of the past harvests is vindictive enough.

Question is:

What makes a people sink into such dept of "reality irresponsiveness"? What make a people sink to such dept of self-denial?

Spontaneously, I can parade a few hypotheses:
1) Lack of participation / engagement (rd. no participation): poor communication or presentation of real issues facilitated by lack of freedom and liberty.
2) Intimidation ( mostly threats from the LRA)
3) Legacy of once a Champ always the Champ ( Acoli did not vote on basis of personal political conviction). Perhaps it is to the candidate's advantage that key political issues are pushed aside.

Hon. Reagan Okumo is first out with urgent r equest for reconciliation. A very good gesture but, if he does hint on any structure for the reconciliation, it is very primitive and not sustainable (almost as primitive as Mato Ofut). The suggestion is good but technicality is a little obnoxious as some of the "heat of election" cliché´ against runner-ups persists.

The world has technically shrunk with universal standards / definitions /perquisites to ensure Global cooperation. From that perspective, too simplistic "home-made" variety of conflict reso lution appears not only excommunicated but also too populist.

It is normal that political opponents invite each other to dinners or festivities. However, Hon Okumu seems to be suggesting reconciliation "ritual" of a different sort under the conductorship of certain Acoli institution. I do not think that is utterly correct.

Firstly, it consolidates a conflict situation of a different sort.

It is normal that during the heat of election campaign, politicians pull all sorts of psychological warfare magazines. It is politics. It is political checkmate. < B>IT IS NOT "BAD-BLOOD" CONFLICT. But approached wrongly, those situations risk conflict label. Our politicians have to get use to playing according to the rules of the game without resorting to baby-sitting by the public!!

Hon. Reagan Okumo pledges the same convergence his political adversaries cried for but were denied.

A question that might pre-occupy the minds of certain actors is:

Why suddenly seek the same convergence, which for decades have been sabotaged?

This scenario may not surface. Still, there may be need to be sober. In Afric a, it is common that certain categories act for the general good only if they themselves are the wielders. The so-called "Looser" politicians can question why they should converge behind the new concept when they never got desired backing during their mandate?

This reciprocity explains the confli ct management concept I described above as technically primitive and not sustainable (considering the dept of the conflict and political stake). Astounding ruthlessness further aggravates the hazardous situation.

The LRAs rally behind FDC candidates is strenuous. This is particularly so in cases where the candidates do not openly distance themselves from the LRA: They can no longer play non- partial.

Yes indeed, we have a situation this coming mandate period. But, as said, "there will always come sunshine after rain". So, let us look at the brighter side of life.

Apropos ambivalence, ONE PO SITIVE AMBIVALENCE IN THE CONFUSION is that certain of the unscrupulous politicians ARE NOW SO COMPELLED to instruct their LRA compatriots to unconditionally cease with all atrocious acts against Ugandan. That much is clear. They are so compelled to deliver the peace they have for decades sabotaged for their own political gains. The same applies to the LRA. They too are so compelled to comply because this may be their only CHANCE TO ELUDE JUSTICE:

The LRA lays down armed insurgency from within Acoli. In exchange, the MPs guarantee them impunity concession by conjuring the ICC and relevant international actors demand for retribution (with rhetorical as: "Gamente rach LRA bene rach", "ICC prosecutions will adventure potential peace prospects and send the LRA back into the bush", "For the first time we are on the Eve of a negotiated peace resolution" etc).

A problem is, since the LRA backed the FDC candidates, the magnitude of indifference might increase. The so-called prospect for a negotiated resolution might shift poles. Suddenly we might find the thrust of the negotiation shifting from between the Ugandan Government and the LRA to between the FDC Mps and the LRA.

< FONT face="Times New Roman">This situation will of course not propitiate Acoli. I would like to think this scenario is highly unlikely. Still, the possibility is there. Another case is if the local NRM politicians (Councillors) dislodge from responsibility (stand aside and watch while toothless FDCs battle in vain)


The Government too is problematic:

The region is at the fate of the president's Good will. Ministerial posts to region is all but presidential appointments (even though other interests such as the Military, Women and Yo uth also might offer opportunities to back-door MPs) A potential set back is if adversaries are brought to checkmate one another.

For example think about a situation where Walter Ocora returns through presidential appointment as Minister for Northern affairs i.e. Mao's boss?!?!?
