| Alur are not mad |
| November 10, 2006 |
| I read with muted shock last week that a minister had insinuated that we Alur are mad people. Can you imagine, a mere cabinet minister denigrating the whole integrity of a serious tribe? Just in case you missed the juice, the State Minister of Lands, Dr Kasirivu Atwooki found himself in a spot of bother when a bunch of Alur surrounded him in Hoima and threatened to beat the living daylights out of him. Well, I would approve of the beating! But one thing I cannot tolerate is the defamation he meted out on a ballistic tribe like the Alur. Mbu the Alur were half naked…and to quote him, "We can't tolerate this madness". I hereby demand an apology from Dr. Kasiriivu Atwooki for grossly defaming the Archbishop of Uganda and I. I mean there's no mad cow disease in Nebbi. The paranoid Banyoro are dying to evict whoever they deem omugwira ever since the herdsmen discovered that the word Hoima was misspelled-it is supposed to be hoilma! Truth be told, these Bagwira are the people who spend sleepless nights drilling these oil wells as the Banyoro (whose laziness is for world cup) sit back picking their noses and passing gas while waiting to claim the finished product as theirs. You can ask the Bakiga! At the risk of being branded tribalistic, I will say that these people think we are here to take their oil and for that matter I am going to demand that they forfeit the names we lent them (like Amooti, Atwooki, Abwooli, Adyeeri ) which are all words from my tribe. I swear to God we as the Alur are not at all bothered by the Bunyoro's oil. If the Banyoro think they have MPUTA 1, WARAGA and whatever, let them wait and see. We also have oil in Packwach and we are about to start testing at ANGARA 1 and PEDU 1 (though this was not confirmed by press time). I am so pissed by Dr. Kasirivu referring to the Alur as mad. Don't you have to be mad to try and quell a rebellion of mad people?! I hereby want to read this minister the riot act. Dr. Kasirivu: Never, ever again say anything sinister about my people, whether they are Congolese Alur - they are still Alur. We even have American Alur, British Alur and Caucasian Alur to name but a few. This should be the last time that you ever blaspheme the Alur or else I shall invoke the gods of Abiba and you will turn into Dr. Musiriivu - and this is not a threat! How on earth can you insinuate that the Alur are mad people? Wek awecu iri. The last time I checked, the following Alur were not mad. Not Albert Thopacu aka DJ Alberto, not OPP either. Not even baby Theo who was cooing and aahing after discovering his two teeth. Brigadier Peter Kerim isn't mad. If he were, he wouldn't have gotten promoted from Colonel to Brigadier. Justice Stella Arach isn't mad, neither is Justice Peter Onega, Okumu Ringa or Peter Uchanda. Cox Ojuko is not kukus either. Phillip Olarker is nothing near mad. Lastly, Saggy isn't mad. I wonder what you were smoking by the time you proclaimed us insane. Actually I think the people who surrounded and wanted to lynch you were your own Banyoro disguised as Alur. At least the Banyoro have a track record of violence. We have evidence in Brigadier Kyaligonza roughing up a radio journalist! Alternatively, you can ask the Bakiga how rough these guys are!
