This sounds real familiar to northern Uganda massacre. Read on........ .....The Democratic Republic of Congo faces a potential massacre of horrific proportions unless the international community forestalls it, a senior United Nations official has warned. The UN's Deputy Emergency Relief Co-ordinator, Carolyn McAskie, told journalists at the end of a trip to eastern DR Congo that ethnic hatred was being deliberately stirred up........Last week, human rights group Amnesty International urged the UN Security Council to prevent "genocide" in Ituri province and accused the Ugandan army of involvement in mass killings and targeted rape......Amnesty International Secretary-General Irene Khan said in a letter to the United Nations that the area was seeing "extremist calls for ethnically pure towns and villages"... "Extremists who were once on the margins of the ethnic groups are now in leading positions. As extreme hatred is escalating, Amnesty International fears that deliberate incitement could lead to the possibility of genocide," she said. .................. This is typical of dictator Museveni.
