Friends
At the exit of Iddi Amin from power he made no broadcasting so frequent as
advising Ugandans that the war out of Tanzania is not about Yusuf Lule but
the return of UPC to power, and installing Obote as a president. The man
repeated those sentiments so many times than I cared to count. Amin also
stated that on return of UPC into power and installing Obote into office,
Uganda was going to face massive deaths in the country. Iddi Amin was right
all along and here we so are today. But if Amin stood on Uganda waves and
warned us about this very eminent danger, how did we fail to protect
ourselves from such? Because as Ugandans we do not analyze past occurrences
to predict the future, we are none critical thinkers to a point that today
Akim Odong has preached on how we must stop to write about the past but
focus on the future. We stood up and hated Iddi Amin so bad by naming him
Ekijambiya, Ekinajjolo yet the man was 100% right in all his warnings. This
series is going to specifically raise a very serious issue of how
Acholi/Langi publicly became violent people and we just failed to add the
dots together.
After the fall of Amin Nyerere instructed all members of UNLA not to go to
West Nile for Acholi/Langi needed to murder every Kakwa Madi Lugbara and
Banubbi. And yes they at last arrived and killed every one they got their
hands on, but it is important to note as well that they got pregnant women
and cut their stomachs pulling out the fetus, thus murdering both the
mother and baby. Because Acholi were attacking Amins people we kept quiet
about it, we justified such actions as actions thrown to Kijambiyas people.
We neglected West Nilers and they fell on the sword of Acholi/Langi violence
very quietly. We pulled government services for these are Amins people. The
International community neglected them for they are Amins people. Red Cross
and Amnesty International did not go there for those are Amins people. West
Nile people that are alive today are alive for thy ran out of West Nile and
formed massive camps in South Sudan but Eastern DRC, many died in those
camps, and we as Ugandans stood by, as Acholi and Langi came back smiling
with blood on their hands. And we justified all these deaths with a simple
sentence, Acholi have gone after these people for they hated Iddi Amin.
When you look closely at Luwero war, again Acholi/Langi arrived into the war
and did exactly the very same things they did in West Nile. They raped
women and raped girls, they got pregnant people and cut their babies out,
thus again murdering the baby and mother. We turned around and justified
that violence to Acholi hate Baganda. And that kind of reasoning built the
atrocity that Southerners did in Acholi land. There was a whole whack of
remember what you did in Luwero? Now let all men drop their pants and we
screw them. But as a critical thinker I question if really Acholi did that
for they hated Baganda, why? What had Baganda done to Acholi to build such
hate, I simply do not know it. Now we have Acholi committing crimes
against Baganda and Baganda committing crimes to Acholi, and someone thinks
we are balancing now.
Well let us go to the Kony war, this was a war where NRA committed crimes to
the people, but we have a whole lot of reports of Acholi committing crimes
to Acholi. Because in Acholi land they have only thatched houses they would
light them, cut womens tombs get out the babies and throw them into
burning huts. They killed literary thousands of Acholi, they raped many
Acholi women including as young as age 7. And my question is very simple, if
Acholi killed West Nilers for they hated Amin, if they killed Luwerorians
for they hated Baganda, who did they hate to murder fellow Acholi? Can one
argue that actually Acholi hated each other, thus the grinding of babies in
pounders?
