"Obote's UNLA troops set out to massacre the local populace by locking them in their huts and setting them on fire.
This, in addition to looting any movable articles, destroying food stores and desecrating places of worship and burial grounds. Some of the soldiers reportedly arranged for their relatives to come along from Acholi and Lango to assist with the looting, especially of livestock. The end of each cycle of the massacre was marked by victory parades accompanied by music from Acholi flutes. A common scene following the orgies of violence was that of jubilant Acholis clad in belts festooned with the genitals of innocent civilians."
