I fail to understand your point. Obote brought Panda Gari and now its being done in Gulu.

The point here is that a killing method once used in Kampala is being used in Gulu twenty years later. 

 

Whose fault is this ? Kansangwawo ??

Subject: [Ugnet] UPDF flee war front, 500 arrested in 'Panda Gari' Operation

UPDF flee war front, 500 arrested in 'Panda Gari' Operation Aswa Times correspondent in Gulu UPDF soldiers caught in action fleeing from battle front wit LRA in Northern Uganda. ABOUT 500 soldiers, UPDF deserters and civilians were arrested in a night ‘Panda Gari’ on Independence Day in Gulu town. The UPDF, police and Local Councils carried out the operation that started at around 3am and ended at 7:30am on Tuesday. Two SMG guns and several rounds of ammunitions were recovered in the early morning joint operation. Soldiers and idlers that included drunkards and newspaper vendors were arrested. The northern Regional Army Spokesman, Lt. Chris Magezi, yesterday confirmed that hundreds of UPDF soldiers, deserters and idlers were arrested on Monday in a joint mop up operation. “The screening is still going on. So far, we have managed to get dozens of UPDF soldiers whom we have detained at our cells. We have handed the civilians to the police,” he said. Magezi said the UPDF deserters would appear before the army court this week on charges of dissertation and Away without official leave (AWOL). Gulu District Police Commander, Mr Yasiin Ndimwibo, said only five civilians had be handed to the police by press time. The operation followed concerns by Gulu Municipal authorities that there was high crime rate in the town suburbs. It is not uncommon that hundreds of UPDF soldiers flee the battle front with LRA and take refugee in town and particularly in the slums in civilian dressing and in the night they commit lots of atrocities on the civilians, which the military swiftly blames on LRA rebels. It is this flight from the war front which created the ‘Ghost Soldiers Scandal (GSS) in which UPDF officers made millions of Shillings paying ‘ghost soldiers’. A number of senior military officers whose personal loyalty to President Museveni was questionable have been court martial, while his sycophants have been ‘forgiven’. [ENDS]
