Luwero Genocide and ICC
Allow me to address you on genocide in Luwero in this open letter.
The issues of genocide in Luwero Triangle, will never go away and finally will be arbitrated, by the International Criminal Court.
Amazingly the European Ambassadors in Uganda, who recently visited the mass graves could only look and not assist government to apprehend those who perpetuated to mass murder of innocent civilian.
The act of being terribly silent, given the European experiences of Adolf Hilter in Germany, Rwanda genocide smacked of an anti democratic stance untypical of European culture.
The era of impunity has passed world over and those who committee atrocities against peoples of the world, for power and their glory, history judge them harshly. In fact Europeans would have understood right away that governments action of inviting them onto the scene of mass killing, was a cry for assistance.
We residents of Luwero who bore the brunt of a primitive war we are kin to see the European Community ambassadors in Uganda, who have visited the mass grave of our beloved sisters, brothers, friends and parents, encourage criminal investigation into the genocide.
Impunity has been the sole impediment to social justice and a grand design by politicians, to entrench authoritarianism and inflict misery on to their own citizens. Donor fund cutting does not go further for it penalise those it intends to support living under unbearable circumstances.
The rule of law should therefore prevail over conformity.
NRM prides itself that thousands of people were massacred and they were there to witness the annihilation, helplessly. It is then quite surprising, for over 20 years, NRM has done nothing to investigate or made any attempts to apprehend those who ordered and carried out the massacre!
Rwanda did start criminal proceedings into the genocide, to show and prove to the entire world the wrong and right in black and white. Why has Uganda failed to do the same?
Those who peddle lies and try to pervert the truth about mass murder in Luwero, will have their day in the courts of law.
Luwero, a piece of land sandwiched between two army barracks Nakasongola in Buruli county and Bombo in Bulemezi county, its only where NRM was operating, massacres took place and one finds mass graves.
I visited Nakasongola in Buruli in the 80s, shockingly Nakasongolas Kanyonyi barracks and the entire surrounding in Buruli areas, never saw village to village carnage of citizens as the case was in Luwero!
We people coming from Luwero, who lost lots of people in that war, are committed to bringing the perpetuators to justice, whatever the cost. We have a right to do so.
The policy of elimination of the people who rejected or opposed the war started in Luwero. The concept of savage torture i.e. tying peoples hands (kandoya) behind their backs, straining to rapture their chest muscles, started with in Luwero. Burning people with molten plastic was exercised in Luwero with such merciless savagery. You only need those who went through the experience to realise the enormous suffering people went through.
In this forum, with an intention of getting more information about the murders in Luwero, I once posted tens of names, of people who disappeared in Luwero, picked from their homes or churches. Some of these people disappeared never to be seen again.
Others, their legs were shattered with bullets since they had a different opinion of the war. Can it justice the terrible suffering the people went through?
A mass murder is a mass murder it doesnt matter where s/he comes from. The issue of Luwero will never be silenced even if it means all of us dying.
There are hundreds of parents who cant tell where their children disappeared in Luwero bushes for fear of retribution. There are women who dont know the fate of their husbands.
NRM/A must fully account for the following;
a. What happened to the people who opposed NRM/A war in Luwero.
b. Account for all people in Luwero forced to join NRM/A war in Luwero and died in combat, who 20 years are still unaccounted for.
c. To openly show the people of Buganda where all Luwero combatants who died in the war are buried.
d. List names of all civilians those who directly or indirectly died in that war and what they died of.
e. Explain what happened to people who fell victims to NRA disguise as Uganda Peoples Congress supporters?
f. Set up an independent investigation by ICC into the murder of Luttamaguzi.
g. Release Nagenda commission of inquiry report.
MPs in the 8th parliament should fully understand the implication of the war in Luwero or get educated on those issues. Their ineptness into the matter will not absolve them from the ugly past in Luwero.
We need all support for a European lawyer near the International Criminal Court in the Hague to take up the issues of Luwero genocide.
