Now that USAID has donated US Dollars 8.9 Million worth of food aid to the people of Northern Uganda, like fools we should all sing HOSSANA .. ...Clap hands and smile profusely, in appreciation for the generosity of this good benevolent American Government .
We should all forget that it is the some damn American Government who have over the years supplied Yoweri Museveni's NRM military dictatorship with military weapons, which weapons have been used by the NRM military dictatorship to slaughter our people.
This people must really think we are stupid! LO!

Kampala The US Agency for International Devel-opment (USAID) has donated US$8.9m worth of food aid for over 1.6 million people at risk in the north and northeastern Uganda.
The 20,000 tons of food were provided after an appeal by the World Food Programme (WFP) and the government for US$54m (sh108b) for the internally displaced people, drought victims and refugees.
A recent statement issued in Kampala by the US embassy said the WFP and Uganda appeal made last month indicated that 1,622,000 were in dire need of food to sustain them for the next seven months.
It indicated of the 1.6 million, 820,000 were internally displaced people in the northern Uganda, 147,000 are refugees while 655,000 are drought victims in the northeast.The statement said the additional food aid brings the amount donated by the US to Uganda this year to 100,000 tonnes worth US$68m (shs136b).
"The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the state."
