Fellow Citizens: I really buffles educated minds, such as we ourselves, that a big old Super Power of the world can succumb to Yoweri Museveni's Propaganda and dispatch a bunch high ranking top US Generals I hear to "go look for solution to a war which his being luanched by a faceless "General known as KONY".
Me think that the solution to the Northern Uganda war likes with the NRM military dictatorship. Me believe that it is the NRM killing our citizens in Northern Uganda. That said, The NRM and the NRM alone holds the key to resloving this Humanitarian catasptrophy now englufing the whole of Northern and Eastern Uganda. I believe that, the visit my top US general to northern Uganda will not repeat not resolve the problem.

The delegation led by U.S. Gen. Charles Wald, deputy Air force commander of the European Central Command, met President Yoweri Museveni on Tuesday and is now in the Gulu. "The purpose of the General's visit is to further assess the security situation in northern Uganda and review the impact of the small amount of U.S. military assistance provided to the UPDF to protect civilians under threat of LRA violence," Mark Schlachter, the US embassy Public Affairs Officer, said yesterday. He said "U.S. assistance to the UPDF has resumed (subsequent to its withdrawal from the Democratic Republic of Congo) and has been limited to a small number of trucks and related transportation equipment, as well as radio communication equipment." The value of this assistance is approximately $2 million, Schlachter said.
