Among the so many documents written on Uganda violence, there is a paper that was written by Joanna R. Quinn, Ph.D. Candidate! Department of political science, McMaster University, Hamilton Ontario, and it is called Dealing with the Past: Ugandas Truth Commission When you read this paper you wonder who trained our friends into atrocities, here is one example of a testimony he gives on page 16. This is what our people went through, this is what we are forced to stop making public. As I have stated over and over, the world has raised up to the Acholi violence, but Ugandans are still pleading it does not exist. Here is a testimony of one victim. This man, the guard, he had all sorts of equipments. [sic] He had two hammers, one of five kilos, another one was two and a half. He had a panga which was sharpened on both sides. he showed us all these. He had two iron bars. ...He had a big gun and a pistol, he had this bayonet, he had all things. This man, we were told inside, had beaten Nsubuga. The man had beaten all his ankles, Nsbuga could not stand up at all because they used to call it removing the fuse, I do not know what fuse. They had beaten all his ankles [and] here in the knees, I understand there is some liquid inside the nee this one had gone out. ... And that other gentleman ...actually had a very big wound on the head ... You could see the maggots coming out of their bodies. Stinking, but again we were also thrown to stay with these people; stinking, they were actually rotten...57 Even though this is a public knowledge to none-Ugandans, we are being told to shut up for talking about it we are planting hate and making the Acholi kid in Ontario uncomfortable. I have a question for all of you, who speaks for Nsubuga?
